Much ‘Madness’ at Shopsmart

HUNDREDS?OF CUSTOMERS flocked to the Holders Hill branch of ShopSmart last Friday night to cash in on the available bargains.
 The Midnight Madness has now become an annual shopping event on ShopSmart’s calendar.
This year the crowd was such that ShopSmart’s management had to bring in additional security, and acting on the advice of the police had to close the doors at least twice.
Officials of the company said they believed the additional crowd this year might have been seeking to beat the increase in VAT to take effect on Wednesday, December 1.
