Costco staff is currently busy preparing the new Reykjavík store for its grand opening on Tuesday. Shelves in the 14,000 m2 (150,000 sq ft) store are being loaded and the 200 strong staff trained. The store is expecting a massive rush and huge crowds when the store finally opens.
According to a Costco spokesman the preparations are going according to plan, and the store expects to open on Tuesday morning. However, according to the local newspaper Fréttablaðið Costco expects it will be able to open the store's petroleum station earlier than the store itself.
The local newspaper Morgunblaðið reports that Costco has requested the assistance of ICE-SAR to contain crowds during Tuesday's grand opening. We expect it will be crazy, a spokesman for Costco told Morgunblaðið.
