The first free market launched in New York City, USA, has attracted significant interest from citizens due to rising living costs. Long lines formed in front of the store hours before its opening, which will operate for two days. When citizens entered, they had the opportunity to shop without spending a single penny.
Although the free market in New York opened its doors at 2:00 PM, hundreds of people queued in front of it hours in advance. Over 400 New Yorkers attended the opening, and shoppers received products for free.
