Walmart in Spruce Grove open 24 hours for the holidays
24 hour shopping
Attention Walmart shoppers: starting on December 4th, you’ll be able to shop the store at any time. While many people couldn’t imagine themselves shopping at 2am, many others appreciate the flexibility. The extended hours are really “for everyone from busy moms to shift workers,” states Jim Thompson, Walmart Canada’s senior vice president of operations.
According to their data, the most popular categories for the early hours are electronics, dry groceries, and candy snacks. ”Our sales data illustrates customers are stocking up on everything from food staples to TVs and lots of midnight munchies,” added Thompson.
What do you think of this type of extended hours?

Didn’t they do this last year for December as well? Is this permanent or just for the month? Only a matter of time, there’s a few stateside open 24h/day. Heh, I can (barely) remember stores being closed on Sundays!
They’ve been doing this the last 2 years; sounds like it’s going to become a yearly thing for December.
Most Wal-Mart locations are open 24 hours for the month of December. According to a documentary I watched recently, 30% of Wal-Mart’s annual revenue comes in December.
