Costco Goes to China

Costco's first store in China has opened in Shanghai to enormous crowds, with three-hour waits for a parking spot and shoppers capped at 2,000 people per day. Videos of the first day’s deluge have gone viral on social media, as much for the enthusiastic scenes as for the signal they send - that American businesses are thriving in the world's biggest consumer market. James Chau takes a look.

Philippines don't have Costco either. We do have Landers and S&R that are the same concept as Costco and Sam's Club.
