The Brief<\/p>\n
Polymarket is offering free groceries to New Yorkers with a pop-up shop next week.<\/p>\n
The pop-up shop will be open for five days.<\/p>\n
The address has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
NEW YORK CITY – It sounds too good to be true, but New Yorkers will have another chance to grab some free groceries this month.<\/p>\n
What we know<\/p>\n
Polymarket, a prediction market, announced on Monday that they will be opening what they say is New York City’s “first free grocery store” next week.<\/p>\n
“The Polymarket is fully stocked. No purchase required. We’re open to all New Yorkers. A real, physical investment in our community.”<\/p>\n
The 5-day pop-up will open at noon on February 12, and run through February 15, according to Business Insider.<\/p>\n
Polymarket also says $1 million was also donated to Food Bank for New York City.<\/p>\n
What we don’t know<\/p>\n
The address of the pop-up has yet to be announced, but Polymarket says they broke ground on construction last month.<\/p>\n
It is also unknown if there will be a cap on how much each customer can take home for free, like Kalshi’s grocery giveaway this week.<\/p>\n

Kalshi, another prediction market, gave away free groceries at Westside Market in the East Village on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The promotion lasted three hours, and offered New Yorkers up to $50 worth of free groceries.<\/p>\n
What they’re saying<\/p>\n
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who pushed for city-owned, low-cost grocery stores during his campaign, responded to Polymarket’s announcement on social media.<\/p>\n
Polymarket commented on the mayor’s post, saying, “We\u2019d love to have you join us and have tried reaching out to connect!”<\/p>\n
