As the festive season approaches, consumers are preparing for their last-minute holiday shopping. Large retail chains like Walmart, Target, and grocery stores like King Soopers and Safeway have released their operating hours for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2024. According to Walmart’s announcement, stores will operate from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Customers are encouraged to check their local store hours, as they may vary. Additionally, Walmart will remain closed on Christmas Day, allowing employees to spend the holiday with their families. Meanwhile, Target will close at 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve and also remains closed on Christmas Day. Grocery retailer Safeway will maintain standard hours, operating from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Christmas Eve, while King Soopers will close at 7 p.m. Customers should note that both Safeway and King Soopers will also be closed on Christmas Day. In light of the increased online shopping trend, many retailers suggest customers finalize their purchases beforehand. With busy schedules and potential supply chain disruptions, this year’s holiday shopping may see a continued rise in pre-Christmas shopping habits. As shoppers plan their trips, it’s important to remember that many smaller shops may also have varying hours. Before hitting the road, consumers are reminded to check the store locator on their favorite retailer’s website or app for the latest updates on store hours and availability.
