Tesco extends store trading hours for Christmas

Tesco Ireland will extend opening hours across its stores to support a safe and easy shopping experience for customers during the festive season; with over 40 of the retailer’s large stores due to open for 24 hours trading during Christmas week.

Select Tesco extra and superstores will open from 7am Monday 21st December on a rolling 24-hour basis. More general extended store openings across the entire 151 store portfolio will be in place from Friday 18th December, as follows:

Monday 14th – Thursday 17th December normal store hours – 7 or 8am until 10 or 11pm as standard per store;

From Friday 18th December, extended hours in majority of stores* 7am – Midnight; with over 40 stores opening for rolling 24 hours from 6am Monday 21st until 7pm Christmas Eve, Thursday 24th December.

*See www.Tesco.ie for individual store hours which may vary.

All stores will close at 7pm latest on Christmas Eve to support colleagues to return home to their families in time for Santa’s arrival.

In the weeks leading to Christmas until Friday 18th December, Tesco continues to support customers who are over 65, family carers and those who are extremely medically vulnerable with dedicated access to stores pre-9am Monday to Friday.

During Christmas week, Tesco will be providing this group of customers with priority access to stores all day with Tesco colleagues manning store car parks, external queues and entrances. “Here to Help” colleague teams will be on hand to welcome customers to the store and support with additional assistance with their shopping if they need it.

Kari Daniels, CEO, Tesco Ireland, commented, “The safety of colleagues and customers remains our number one priority and we continue to make changes within our stores as we prepare for the Christmas trading period. We hope that these extended hours, up to 24 hours in 40 of our larger stores during Christmas week, will help make the shopping trip easier for our customers.

Our store teams have gone above and beyond this year and we acknowledge their continued hard work in helping serve our shoppers this Christmas.”
