If the fed govt would adopt my plan of having food stamp recipients only able to use their SNAP cards at a food distribution center (mandatorily staffed by welfare recipients) that only gave out staple foods (no sodas, little Debbie’s, etc), then two grocery stores would probably be plenty for NO East.

Your plan would spawn an additional business next door. “Discount Government Food”.
You could probably get cheese for $1 per pound and the merchant would still show a profit. Rice would be free there too if one was willing to take at least 5 pounds of it away from the premises.
