Why San Francisco is considering a bill that would let shoppers sue grocers closing stores - Lemmy.World

I don’t see how this works.

If the store isn’t profitable, the company needs to close it.

If they’re closing it in bad faith, in theory you can open a new one.

A better idea would be that grocery stores must own or mortgage the land they use, and forfeit the land upon exit.

That way the chain can’t hold the location without a store in it.
