What happened
On September 22, 2026, the Free Enterprise Express Opportunity Tour made a stop at 103 Deli & Grocery in East Harlem. Neil Bradley, Executive Vice President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, participated in the tour, which was part of the Chamber's initiative to promote free enterprise. The tour drew national attention to the threat that city-owned grocery stores pose to small businesses.

Why it matters
The discussion centered on the Mayor’s proposal for government-owned grocery stores that would operate with taxpayer subsidies, no rent, and no property taxes. Bradley argued that such government overreach could force small businesses out of operation. The tour was held near La Marqueta, a site for one of five planned government-owned grocery stores.
