In Shanghai in ispepelyayusche hot days, locals asleep in the IKEA store. But this is only the case if there are beds available…
Shanghai residents feel at home in the exhibition halls of the eponymous store, where you can find air conditioners: there they rest, sleeping on beds and sofas, as well as drink and eat at the dining table. This trend is increasing in unbearable hot days.
When the temperature rises to 37 degrees and the houses have to be unbearable, at IKEA, the rest come family with kids, couples and even seniors. Some even manage to sleep surrounded by the crowd of buyers.
Given the potential profits that can ensure the increasing number of customers, IKEA for a long time patiently provided local customers “living rooms”.
