Seventy-Six 24-Hour Tesco Stores To Close For The Night

U.K. grocer Tesco said it is reducing hours by 25 percent at 76 stores that had been open 24 hours a day. The main reason for the hours change, which begins taking effect next month, is to improve the shopping experience for customers by giving night staff time to replenish the shelves and clean up. Closing the stores from midnight to six a.m. will mean “better availability of products and better looking stores when they open their doors to customers each morning.” The company also noted, however, that the affected stores didn’t get many customers between midnight and six.
