Anonymous Coward User ID: 75449616 United States 08/27/2019 12:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The trade war between the U.S. and China clearly wasn’t on the minds of the Chinese shoppers that stormed Costco’s first-ever store in the country on Tuesday. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77667638 Costco (COST) cut the ribbon at its new store in Shanghai and proceeded to watch shoppers overrun the expansive aisles, as seen in numerous posts on Twitter. In fact, the crowds got so big that the store was forced to cut opening day short over safety worries, according to news reports. For Costco, the day one response — and the inevitable surge in new memberships — should temper concerns on Wall Street that its bulk-selling model wouldn’t work in the hyper local Chinese food market. A Costco spokesperson didn’t immediately return a request for comment on membership signups. It’s very likely that Costco becomes a key retailer in China as the growing middle class — which is triggering investments in larger living spaces and creating more income — drives demand to buy in bulk (which is still a rather unique model in the country).

User ID: 77915901 Sweden 08/27/2019 02:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Whereas the average Chinese food market only tortures small to medium sized dogs, ChinkCostco will sadistically torture great danes and mastiffs in alignment with their "buy-in-bulk" philosophy.
