Consider the residents who find the location of existing stores easier to get to than anything OUTSIDE OF THE CITY. Not everyone has transportation or has bus transportation - some people can walk to their stores. What happens when they’re closed?

You go chew the city council out for their idiocy I guess.
“What happens when they’re closed?”
Like lots of poor people in the city, they can go to the Quicky-mart at the gas station and pick up a small bottle of orange juice and a day-old corndog for $6 and have breakfast.

The Mayor goes on NPR and cries about a “food desert”.
I know where those 2 stores are located, if memory serves, they both in predominantly black/mexican neighborhoods.
Between the shoplifting and other crime, I imagine both stores were just looking for an excuse to close.
You are describing the "food desert" phenomena
They adapt. That is what change is all about. I bet they’ll
find ways to find groceries. Heck there may be a Grocery
on wheels chain forming.
Consider allowing a run-away local government holding you hostage and you allowing it for the convenience of others. I applaud Kroger's decision - this is on the city and not the store.
