As Christmas Day approaches in 2024, shoppers are eager to know which retail stores will remain open and which will close for the holiday. Major retailers are balancing the need for customer service with traditional holiday observances. According to USA Today, big box stores such as Walmart and Target will close their doors this Christmas Day. Many consumers have expressed frustration over the lack of options on the holiday. ‘It’s disappointing. I just want to grab a last-minute gift or supplies,’ said local shopper, Jessica Turner. On the other hand, selected CVS and Walgreens locations will be open on Christmas Eve to accommodate last-minute needs, with CVS confirming extended hours from 8 AM to 10 PM on December 24, 2024, while Walgreens will maintain regular operating hours. Despite certain grocery stores closing, a few, such as Kroger, are known to open for limited hours on Christmas Day, ensuring that essentials remain accessible. ‘We want to serve our customers even on holidays,’ said Kroger spokesperson, Mark Evans. Shoppers are advised to check with their local stores for specific hours as retail practices may vary by location.
