The extended store hours empower consumers with more shopping flexibility. Stores that remain open on Lunar New Year, while operating on reduced staff strength, will continue to serve customers who may need last minute items, as well as those who do not observe the occasion and may need access to daily necessities. We thank our staff for their dedication and hard work over this festive period and also wish our customers a prosperous New Year.”
