Retailers Push Limits With Extended Store Hours to Lure Shoppers
Retailers are ramping up their appeals to last-minute shoppers with a few big-name stores offering extended hours for last-minute gift buyers, pushing the boundaries of normal hours and with some even staying open for more than 24 hours straight.
First it was Macys (M), which announced last week that for the first time it will open most of its stores in the 48 hours leading up to Christmas Eve. Most of the companys department locations across the country will be open for two days straight, beginning on Friday, Dec. 21 at 7 a.m. and extending through Sunday, Dec. 23 at 7 a.m. for its final One Day Sale of the season. The special sale will end on Dec. 23 at 7 a.m., but many locations will then remain open until 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve.
