If There is a Brand New Store...

If there is a brand new store open nearby your area and it gets all the publicity in the magazines and news, would you go there to check out or shop at once? Or would you wait till the calm down of the crowds and go there later? I used to check out new store at once but in the recent year, I prefer to avoid the crowd more. Like we have the first H&M store here but I haven't been there yet. I just don't enjoy being packed in a store. What about you?

I'd more than likely wait for the crowds to die down as I hate busy stores and I despise waiting in long lines just to give someone my money. Maybe I'd give it a couple weeks and try it out if it was even the type of store I shop at in the first place.

Right! I remember the first day of H&M opened here, there was a queue outside the store just to get in. I think that's too crazy for me to line in there just to get in.

I'm just incredibly stubborn I guess. I won't do lines unless there's no other option. Even if I have a cart full of groceries I'll leave them where they're at and walk out of the store if I hafta stand in line for more than 15 minutes. Especially if there are more registers that could be opened. I won't stand in line like a putz just to hand someone my money.

I'm with you on this one. Most likely I'd wait for awhile to shop at the store. However, if they were offering some really great deals or discounts or free gifts just for shopping during Grand Opening week, then I might drop by to see what they had to offer.

*laughs* Yes, if they have discounts, that it would be a whole different story around here too!

I also like to visit any brand new store which comes up in my neighborhood and will make a visit there within a week of its opening just to check out and see and to find out if there are any good offers going on to grab it.

Right, buying would be fun! I am not the window shopping type as well, I would get bored just looking.
