Stores will be shortening hours they are open next month. Closing earlier and opening later. Have to save that billion somehow.

Some stores are owned by Sears in the mall. They actually own the property so they make their own hours. They are the only ones that can make their own hours as far as opening later as far as I know with out being penalized.
What difference does it make if you are filing bk I guess.
Mall operators will dictate the hours. Don't think many stores in malls will be allowed to shorten hours due to mall management. Better to close a few more stores than shorten hours in my opinion.
Some stores have really limited hours on Sunday if they are a blue law store.
@plo, your store is closed on Sunday?
Our store hours have been an 11 to 8 Monday through Thursday and 11 to 9 on Friday and 10 AM to 9 PM on Saturdays for a year.
Except some malls which require you to have certain hours.
Nationwide. They tried this last year and it was a disaster. People could not stop in to shop or pick up prescriptions before work. Closing earlier makes sense because noone comes in after 6:00pm or anytime for that matter. maybe 30 customers yesterday, down 35% compared to last year
They are kind of doing it now with stores closing at 9 monday through saturday and closing on sunday at 8. In the past they try to stay open for as long as possible, especially around the holidays. Truthfully those stores lost money every day just for being open and I guess now they want to be open when the hours that the volume start to pick up and close as soon as it dies down.
is this for kmart and sears both? Nationwide or just select stores?
Thank you.
