The UK’s largest retailer, Tesco, is to trial shorter opening hours in some of its stores. Could this mean the end of the 24-hour supermarket?
Tesco has announced that it is to trial shorter opening hours in some of its stores. The move comes as the retailer looks to cut costs and increase efficiency.
The trial will see Tesco stores open from 6am to 10pm, rather than the 24-hour opening that some stores currently operate.
It is not yet clear how many stores will be affected by the trial, or how long it will last. However, it is thought that the move could be rolled out across Tesco’s entire UK store estate if it is successful.
The news has been met with mixed reactions from shoppers and industry experts. Some have welcomed the move, saying that it will allow Tesco staff to get a better work/life balance. Others have expressed concern that it could lead to increased congestion and noise during peak hours.
