They will be bodega-sized and have barely any inventory. They will cost $10 trillion each to build, $100 trillion a month to run, and the finances will be buried.

it's one of those boutique 'socialist experiments' that only 'works' (to the extent that it works at all) as long as it can be propped up by massive, wasteful appropriations of wealth from the productive economy.
it's like when wealthy hippie kids start a 'commune' on their parents' land somewhere and pay for everything with their trust funds, having fresh lobster helicoptered in -- then declare 'communism' workable.

Yes? Well no on the crackhead part mostly
They get 1.5 billion dollars from the government. Not a BUDGET MASTERMAN but looks like the sell 5 billion dollars worth of stuff for like 4.8 billion (page 28 of pdf)

Prices are lower than anywhere else and DOD civilians use their IDs to get on base to shop at them, even if they don't work at that base. How does the Army do it? How does the Air Force do it???

The real answer is which suppliers are getting the contracts for these stores and what the subsidies are and who is grifting a cut from who and where
There’s obviously some finesse scam going on like what happened with the lt gov of Hawaii Asian bitch for the Covid testing for inflated contracts which the taxpayer will subsidize and some pay to play happening to get in these stores imo

So when this puts all stores around it out of business. Then they loose more jobs, and loose more taxes from those actual businesses and more leave NY. You can not make this up. Basic Econ classes should be required for all city officials. This will do the exact of opposite of what he thinks. Or maybe that is exactly what he wants; destroy NY as fast as he can. That seems more likely each day after ever new stupid idea.
if they sell at a discount they'll do tons of volume at a loss (that will require subsidy). there will be obvious incentive for resellers, so the store will try to limit how much a single person can buy from the store per month or whatever. still, due to the artificially cheap prices, there will be tricks where somebody pays somebody else to go in and buy their monthly allotment.
having a popular store like this (that loses money, and is subsidized by taxpayers) will take customers and spending from normal bodegas, so the bottom couple of bodegas will declare bankruptcy.

cr it will end up just like EBT now where nigs sell the food stamps for cash and they will just sell what they get from the govmarts on black market, most legit places do this any way with Kirkland Signature and mark it up at are country bodegas
