WITH Christmas only days away, some Clare families are still planning the big grocery shop.
To avoid any added stress and ensure you are prepared for the festive season ahead, operating hours for stores from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Day have been compiled.
Christmas Eve will bring stores to a close early, most closing from 5:30pm-7pm, with the exception of Sixmilebridge’s Centra closing at 8pm and numerous Ennis shops closing around 8pm-10pm. However, if looking to buy a few last-minute things on Christmas Day, shopping will be limited as only the Banner Plaza, Kildysart Centra, and Limerick Rd Circle K will be open. On St Stephen’s Day, shops will begin to open, including Shannon Tesco, Tulla Supervalu, Limerick Rd Circle K, and Centras in Sixmilebridge, Scariff, Kildysart, Ballyvaughan and Ardncrush, with limited hours. Applegreen on the Limerick Rd will be open 24 hours throughout Christmas and New Year’s.
Coming up to the new year, customers will be better off shopping on December 31st rather than January 1st, as stores will mostly be open on New Year’s Eve, apart from Supervalu in Ennistymon. Select shops will be closed on New Year’s Day, such as Ennis Tesco, Ennis Lidl, Kilrush Tesco and all Aldis, while others will be open from 6am at the earliest and closed from 11pm at the latest.
Whether you’re getting ready for Christmas dinner or stocking up on drinks for New Year’s Eve, enjoy your Christmas shopping and Merry Christmas from everyone at The Clare Echo.
