Bodega owners across New York City are advocating for expanded sales rights, seeking permission to legally sell wine and liquor in their stores. The move aims to boost revenue and compete with larger retailers while providing convenience for customers. Advocates argue that allowing these sales would create jobs and support small businesses in underserved neighborhoods. The proposal comes as part of broader discussions on easing alcohol sales regulations in urban areas.
