The clearest large-scale, sustained precedent in the U.S. is the Defense Commissary Agency’s network of military grocery stores, operating for decades and generating roughly $4 billion in annual revenues while providing discounted groceries to service members and families; the model endures because it targets a defined population with institutional support and subsidy [1]. Analysts in the dataset treat the commissary system as functionally different from municipal supermarkets because commissaries are embedded in federal personnel policy, not local anti–food-desert programs; that distinction helps explain their financial sustainability and political durability. Advocates for municipal stores cite commissaries to demonstrate government competence in retail when a mission and captive clientele exist, while critics counter that commissaries are not a template for neighborhood retail without similar structural supports.”
