After opening its doors for less than five hours, the first Costco in China was forced to close early due to overcrowding and raucous behavior of some customers.
The major American wholesale retailer established its first Chinese store in Shanghai. Doors opened at 9:00 a.m. on Aug. 27, but were closed just after 1:00 p.m., according to Shanghai Times. The opening day was planned to last until 9:30 that evening.
