What about Target?

Despite the fact that Target will close its doors at 8 pm on Christmas Eve and will not open on Christmas day, stores have extended holiday hours so you can get all your shopping done. From December 5 they will open at 7 AM and will close at midnight due to the high demand during the Christmas season.

On a normal day, stores open at 7 AM and close at 10 PM, but due to the approaching holidays they decided that the hours should be extended in order to give their customers a greater opportunity to make all their desired purchases. It’s not the first year that Target has extended its hours, last year it began on December 11 and ended before Christmas.

EXTENDED HOURS DURING THE HOLIDAYS

According to The Sun, Target announced the extension of its schedule and informed customers that they will begin on Sunday, December 5. The corporate spokesman stated that due to the Christmas holiday they were going to extend their business hours and their main objective was to be able to fulfill the wishes of their customers on these special dates.

The spokesperson confirmed that Target will open at 7 AM and will close until midnight. The main idea is to allow  their customers to find the products they need and to have them at hand. Although it is also emphasized that you should look for at the hours of each store, because they can vary.

When will Target be open?

Although Target commonly opens its stores at 7 AM the only difference is the closing time. According to the media, the stores normally close at 10 PM. This month, the branches will close at 12 AM. Sales are expected to increase due to the longer hours.

Customers are asked to check the schedules as they may vary by location, so it’s always worth checking Target’s store locator beforehand to avoid disappointment, The Sun reported. Currently, customers can know for sure that several stores will be open.

How long will the extended hours last?

According to what was reported by the company’s spokesperson, the new schedule will remain in effect until December 23 and will allow thousands of American families to get the products they need at a good price and without being pressured by the schedules that are imposed in the popular stores.

It’s not the first time that Target stores have remained open until that time. Last year they maintained that policy and began before the December holidays. Target has become one of the most popular destinations for customers to fulfill all of the Christmas shopping needs.

A unique experience?

The director of the Target stores gave an interview to USA TODAY stating the changes that will be taking place in the stores during the month of December and explained why he was doing it. Mark Schindele, said that the main objective was to provide a different experience to Target customers and to meet their needs.
