Polymarket's Free-Grocery Pop-Up Draws Crowds in NYC
Polymarket staged a “free grocery store” pop-up in New York’s West Village that drew hundreds on opening day, only to be delayed by late deliveries; inside, shelves and supplies looked unusually polished, and reporters documented the scene as a marketing stunt tied to the crypto platform. The event is framed by Polymarket as a philanthropic‑first effort, including a pledge to donate $1 million to the Food Bank for NYC, while sparking questions about brand-washing and gambling optics.
