We all love to shop in advance for the New Year, practically leaving grocery stores with nothing. But it also happens that on January 1, something may be missing: milk, bread, drinks or vegetables with fruits, and you do not know the opening hours of the nearest supermarket.
In this article, we will tell you in detail and show how the stores will work after the New Year.
How does the store schedule change for the holidays?
As a rule, the schedule of all stores switches to the updated mode already from December 29, the number of opening hours increases so that all people can have time to buy what they need. From January 1, on the contrary, the working day of stores is reduced, and starts working from 11-12 hours, thus, taking care of both their customers and sellers with cashiers after a stormy New Year's Eve.
Changes to the opening hours for each store are individual - it all depends on the administration of the outlet. But, despite it, the store staff will have to notify everyone about changes in work by posting news on the official website of the retail chain or posting a notice in front of the entrance to the hall. One way or another, but each store on January 1 will wait until the last for its last customer.
Opening hours of grocery stores
Small retail outlets establish their own daily routine, but large stores, subordinate to the same network and administration, have their own single mode. In other words, these networkers are trying to work for the benefit of customers, changing the schedule on holidays and weekends as flexibly and conveniently as possible for the rest.
It should be noted that each retail chain is controlled by some company, for example, the well-known and beloved Pyaterochka belongs to the X5 Retail Group, as well as the Perekrestok and Karusel supermarkets. And it would be logical to include “Magnet at home”, “Magnit City”, “Magnet-cosmetics” and “Magnet-pharmacy” to the “Magnet” network. So how will they work during the holidays?
Pyaterochka, as it was said, is one of the most popular and visited stores in Russia because it constantly has low prices for food, frequent promotions and a large selection of goods. Regardless of where it is located - be it a large city, town or village - it will work in abbreviated form: on December 31 until 21:00, and on January 1 from 13:00.
Perekrestok not only ranks first in the list of the oldest chains in Russia, but also pleases customers with an unusual exotic assortment: from homemade baked goods and delicious delicacies to food from local culinary factories at low prices. On the first day of the new year, it will work from 12:00 to 23:00 hours.
But in the Karusel chain, famous for the difference in essential goods, people will be able to buy everything they need, right up to twelve at night. The next day, January 1, it will open its doors at 14:00, and on January 2, it will continue to work as usual.
The company from St. Petersburg has created "Lenta" not only with a very wide selection of cheap and high-quality goods, but also established a round-the-clock schedule for this store. However, this network will open earlier than the others - already at 10 am everyone will be able to purchase the desired item, and will stop working at exactly 21:00.
"Okay" also distinguished itself by continuous work and a large assortment, but, like everyone else, for the New Year it will change its schedule: you can come and buy what you need only from 15:00 to 21:00, January 1 from 13:00, and from the next day it will be restored to normal operation.
The schedule of the Dixy chain, skillfully attracting visitors to the “near home” store with products and essentials, also did not go unnoticed.On December 31, it will wait for its customers until 21:00, and on the morning of the new year it will start working earlier than the rest - from 11:00 to 21:00.
Colorful hypermarkets "Magnit" will surprise guests and customers with their hard work on New Year's Eve - the stores will be open until 23:00. But on January 1, they will amaze their competitors with an early opening - from 9:00 in the morning, those wishing to buy the necessary products or things will be able to come to hypermarkets.
The shops of the Metro company work on small wholesale goods, so if a person needs a large number of products in a hurry or a huge company of people comes to him, then it is worth going here. This point will be open from 13:00, and its closure depends on the area in which the store is located.
The largest retail chain "Auchan" from French manufacturers pleases Russians with its format - superstores, hypermarkets, supermarkets and convenience stores - with a choice of goods from electronics, technology, food and toys, but takes a full day off for its employees on January 1. From the next day, you should find out the opening hours on the official website of the store.
The work of shopping and entertainment centers on New Year's holidays
Surely there will be Russians who have fun after a colorful and eventful festive night, who will want to relax in a multi-storey shopping center, where there is a wide range of leisure activities: cafes, bars, cinemas, bowling alleys, food courts, small carousels and mini-contests. That is why many shopping centers open immediately on the first day of the new year, kindly inviting everyone to have a good time.
However, the schedule of their work is strictly dependent on the administrators of the center, who set the time and number of working hours, but presumably the given schedules of shopping and entertainment centers are already available:
The large-scale center "Ring", famous for its rich selection of goods, ranging from clothing and accessories to household appliances and food, changes its schedule for January 1, working from 12:00 to 22:00 hours.
But the frequently visited shopping and entertainment complex "Park House", always with a well-furnished interior, starts working a little later - from 13:00, but breaks the record for closing: its doors are not open to customers from 23:00.
The same Tandem shopping mall, which houses several children's play centers, an attraction, a dozen cafes, a cinema and a restaurant, modestly opens its doors at 14:00 and closes at 21:00.
Also in Moscow on January 1, 2022, shopping and entertainment centers such as Good Zone, June, Afimall City, Metropolis, Columbus, Golden Babylon and Kaleidoscope will be waiting for everyone. Their work usually starts from 13: 00-14: 00 hours, but it is more reliable to recognize them on the official website or by an ad.
Operation of electronics stores
Unfortunately, they decided to make January 1 not a working day, but a day off for their employees, such attractive and interesting electronics stores, where you can buy the desired gadget or walk around and view the prices of equipment for the future. Outlets such as Empire, Department Store and Omega will rest after the New Year.
But there is also good news: two networks that sell electronics and stand out in the life of Russians will be happy to wait for their customers, who may want to buy a gif.webpt in the form of a laptop or tablet for a friend or relative, or please themselves by purchasing a long-desired technology.
In the well-known M.Video salon, where you can get a device of any size and color, the employees carefully set a work schedule for January 1: from 13:00 to 21:00 the store will wait for its customers.
But whether the equally popular Svyaznoy salon will work on such a day remains a mystery - the administration has never exposed the first day of the renewed year to workers, but it remains to hope and wait for information about this to appear on the eve of the holiday.
Also, one of the largest networks of electronic equipment and gadgets "DNS" makes only much to be desired, because the work of stores related to this company depends only on the location of the outlet - usually January 1 is a day off for them, but perhaps the administration can do and an exception.
What is left to do for ordinary people who do not know the specific and detailed working hours of all stores on the first day of a new, fresh year? Just buy food and things in advance, get ready for Christmas, set up the atmosphere at home and invite friends and family for this wonderful and magical holiday. And open grocery stores, equipment and retail outlets will help you with this!
