Type: Solicitation Method: Request for Proposals Category: Goods and Services New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) is seeking proposals from branding and design firms to develop the visual identity for N.Y.C. Groceries, a new network of five City-supported grocery stores. A fresh, vibrant brand identity is essential to successfully bring these stores to market, communicate the unique value proposition, and achieve widespread adoption amongst New Yorkers. These brand parameters will also serve as critical inputs for the physical makeup of the stores themselves, guiding everything from materials to signage, lighting, merchandise, and customer flow. The goals of the N.Y.C. Groceries initiative are to bring down the cost of everyday groceries and household staples, strengthen neighborhood food access, and demonstrate a new role for public sector leadership in food affordability. It is currently anticipated that the five N.Y.C. Groceries stores will be managed by one or more third-party grocery operator(s) and shall each carry a set of highly in-demand items that will be discounted relative to market prices, providing direct relief for shoppers at checkout. The City will cover overhead costs associated with the grocery stores, while the operator will be required to pass savings on to the customers in the form of discounted prices on everyday groceries. The City plans to open five N.Y.C. Groceries storesone in each boroughby the end of 2029, with the first store expected to open its doors in late 2027.
