Analyze whether Shoprite has a valid Equal Protection claim.

New York City has enacted a law prohibiting large supermarkets (defined as those with over $1 million average yearly gross sales revenue) from using plastic bags for customers purchases. The City passed this law to reduce the usage of environmentally unsound plastic bags within the City.

Shoprite is a supermarket company that has several large stores in the City that are covered by the laws prohibition on plastic bags. Shoprite wants to challenge the law because of the additional expense of providing other types of bags to its customers. It claims the law violates its rights under the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution.
