Can Tho people flock to supermarkets to avoid the heat and hunt for sales on the occasion of April 30th holiday.

According to the reporter, on the second day of the April 3 - May 1 holiday, at Go! Can Tho supermarket (Cai Rang district), there were many customers flocking to have fun, shop, and eat. At the sales areas and checkout counters, customers had to wait quite a long time for their turn to pay.

Most customers said that when the weather outside is hot and sunny, reaching over 35 degrees Celsius, avoiding the heat at the supermarket with family and friends is the ideal choice.

Mr. Le Nguyen Phuong Tung (26 years old, Can Tho City) said: "The sun is so hot that my family is afraid to go to tourist areas because we have to jostle, which affects both our health and our skin. Therefore, we go to the supermarket to cool off. After having lunch at the supermarket, I went to pick up some promotional candy for my children."
