The number of customers visits has doubled to 6-thousand a day. Souvenirs in demand range from lucky red Chinese knots and favor pouches to traditional Chinese garments and delicate precious-medal badges.
Athletes are keen to pick up games mementos once they have ended their competitions. They and their families are spending a lot of time picking out gifts for friends back home.
Among all the Olympic products, clothing --- like T-shirts with the Beijing Olympics logo, make up 40 percent of sales. Shops at the Olympic Village can sell 4,000 to 5,000 garments every day.
