# R' Moshe mentions that should the store owner sell any of this chometz over [[Pesach]] (which a chain store open over [[Pesach]] will invariably end up doing) he would be stealing from the non-Jew. As the chometz in his store for all intents and purpose belongs to the non-Jew who he sold it to. Although stealing from a non-Jew is not permitted, it would be worthy to do such a thing as this way the kosher customers may purchase any item that they desire immediately following [[Pesach]] as it was "goyish chometz" over Pesach. Additionally the Jewish store owner will be able to avoid transgressing the prohibition of owning chometz over [[Pesach]] many hundreds, if not thousands of times. | # R' Moshe mentions that should the store owner sell any of this chometz over [[Pesach]] (which a chain store open over [[Pesach]] will invariably end up doing) he would be stealing from the non-Jew.
