As others pointed out - these stores don’t pay rent and are subsidized by tax payers so can afford to charge for less. Basically the private stores pay taxes and part of that money goes to these public stores so they don’t need to make money on sales. Then the public stores can undercut the prices of the private stores. It makes sense to try to keep them out because the private stores are getting screwed.
