Still have holiday shopping to do?
According to deal website RetailMeNot, 74% of consumers plan to do at least some last-minute shopping this holiday season and 57% are willing to wait until the last minute to buy gift cards. And 51% plan to shop the day after Christmas.
Catering to the true procrastinators, the majority of stores and malls across the nation are opening early Friday and will close by dinner time, with a few exceptions.
Ahead of Christmas Eve, however, you’ll find more stores opening early and staying open late. Through Thursday, Target and Kohl’s stores are open from 7 a.m. until midnight and then will have shorter hours Friday. For Christmas Eve grocery store hours, click here.
