Attention holiday Wal-Mart shoppers: stores to open round the clock
From cbc.ca:
Most of Wal-Mart Canada’s stores will be operating 24 hours a day throughout the holiday shopping season.
The move, announced Thursday, is an extension of its four-year-old program of keeping certain stores open round the clock from Dec. 1 to Christmas Eve, and during the back-to-school shopping season.
What’s new this year is the number of stores open for the entire period starting Monday and running to Dec 24.
Last year, just 50 of the chain’s 310 Canadian stores remained open. This year there will be 192, said Wal-Mart Canada spokesman Kevin Groh.
