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 cash registers, customers waited 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 of going 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 choose some promotional candy for my children."

At Lotte Mart Can Tho (Ninh Kieu district), the number of customers also increased sharply from lunchtime. Many people go shopping at this time because there are usually many promotional and discount programs applied.

Ms. Dang Thi Ly (Binh Thuy District, Can Tho City) shared: "We arrived at the supermarket at around 11:30 and saw a lot of people coming to play, especially many women shopping. After eating, we will continue to go to the movies to have a comfortable and cool holiday."

Coming from Hau Giang to Can Tho with her family to celebrate the holiday at the supermarket, Ms. Nguyen Mong Tuan (Chau Thanh district) shared: "The supermarket in Can Tho has many places for children to play, goods and fast food are also diverse, so I take my children there to play, both to avoid the heat and to be safe. In the afternoon when the weather is cool, I will take my children to Ben Ninh Kieu".

Previously, the Department of Industry and Trade of Can Tho City issued a Plan to organize the first phase of the "2024 Concentrated Promotion" Program, taking place from April 15 to May 31 in Can Tho City.
