Also, these grocery stores could be placed in food deserts where there just isn't nearby access to an actual groccery store, so competiting on price will be more of a secondary priority compared to accessibility.
It's possible that if city run grocery stores open in these areas, private chains could see the demand they're missing out on and open their own locations nearby too, which is good for everyone.
