Hi, could you please explain what the phrase "lines around the block" means in the following sentence?

I just heard about a new clothing store in Pasadena that has lines around the block. A clothing store!)

I think that 'A store has lines around the block' just means that the shop is so successful that people are queuing around the corner to get in.

[Torsten]

Yes Conchita, thanks for enlightening me. Of course you are right, in the US lines are queues.
