The Maxima XXX store in Aleksotas will open its doors starting Thursday. Shoppers flooded it since Wednesday morning.

Kaunas residents were drawn to the deep discounts applied here. According to them, it was cheaper to buy not only groceries, but also alcoholic beverages, household items, etc.

“I loaded a cart full of various products, it will be enough for at least a week,” said Lauryna, who met at the store.

Virginia said she was not expecting such a large number of people. “Some forget the quarantine rules, they don’t follow the distances. I bought only what I needed, ”explained the Kaunas resident.
