Seize his stores then. The city can run them for the people.

My 5D chess move would be:

  • Go: ok bet, you wanna shut it down? Your stores are now in immediate administration under some eminent domain law
  • In order to mitigate political backlash, make it known that they're able to sell their business to someone else, or the city, provided that the subsequent owner is bound to either run it, or sell it to the city

Watch them get mad because you haven't technically seized it, they can still sell the business (maintaining the sacrosanct rights to private property capitalists love so much), you've just prevented them from closing it down, and everyone gets to keep their jobs :)
