Imagine this: half a million people in one place, and you’re a small business owner in New Zagreb. The Marko Perković Thompson concert at the Zagreb Hippodrome has caused total chaos for local shops and service businesses. Some decided to close their doors, others shortened their working hours, and access to many locations is difficult due to street closures and special traffic regulations. Terra Organica, specializing in natural cosmetics, and the Znanje bookstore are just some who announced they will be closed or have shortened hours on July 5th, the day of the concert. Banks and insurance companies like Croatia Insurance and HPB also announced changes in their working hours. If you plan to shop or visit a bank that day, it’s best to check the opening hours in advance to avoid closed doors. This concert is not just a musical event but a real test for the local economy and city organization. Is it worth half a million people in one place if small businesses suffer? What do you think about these situations? Share your thoughts, maybe you have a solution for this city chaos!
