Description

Thousands of shoppers swarmed China’s first Costco store, located within Shanghai’s suburban Minhang district, on its Aug. 27 opening day, causing such a ruckus that the store was forced to close early. Bargain-hunters reportedly overwhelmed the store, causing “chaotic…bust-ups between anxious shoppers,” according to a local interviewed by the South China Morning Post.
