3 I await the 'discussions' on what products the store will carry, specifically Israel produced products or products made with Israel produced technology.

7 I'm curious what the penalty will be for shop lifting?

That's the neat thing, where 'smart pricing' comes in. See, for some people that bottle of liquor as it approaches the door is $0, and others $10,000.

8 As an FYI for reference, the cost to build a 20-25,000 Tractor Supply is 2.5 - 3.0 Million all-in.

9 Ironic considering the reason there's not already a store there is it would cost too much.

10 The city-owned grocery store at Hunt's Point, that opens next year, will only be a 20,000 sqft facility.

Thinking the East Harlem facility would be of similar size.

Use Chutle Hupinert7966's reference for cost comparison.
