Belgian stores have been allowed to reopen today, however the overall images has been rather mixed, with some retail chains reporting large hour-long queues, whereas others remained desolate.
Whilst most retailers did not expect large crowds on the first day of the grand reopening, that assumption did prove correct for some retailers, however retailers such as Ikea had six hundred people standing in the waiting line to enter the store.
All in all, retailers were very happy with the way the were able to reopen, and almost no problems were reported.
