Do you live in a place where everything is open 24/7, or do the shops near you always have to close early?

I work in a supermarket and we do 7am-10pm 7 days a week. About 20 years ago they used to be 24/7, but we have gradually cut the hours back and there's though of cutting it back further. The rival supermarket across the road does 7am-9pm, with 8am-8pm on Sunday. There is not a supermarket in the area that is open past 10pm.

The McDonald's in the town has to, by law, open no earlier than 7am and close no later than 10pm (11pm Friday and Saturday). This was a condition of development approval. All the other McDonald's in the area have to close at midnight and re-open at 6am due to council regulations, and all other major chains have to do the same, though Subway somehow stays open until midnight every night. One McDonald's used to be open 24/7 but this was canned after 6 months due to residents complaining.

There's only one place in the area that sells retail alcohol after 9pm, and that's tacked onto a club. There is only one petrol station open 24/7 out of about 30 in the area. The cinemas even have to close by 11:15pm. The only places open after 11 it seems are clubs here.

I hate California. I left the airport at 11:pm and when I got to the hotel, was really hungry (2-day flight, and I get airsick so I don't eat anything). But no stores were open.


I couldn't order from something like Pizza Hut, the hotel had no food service, everything was quite as a rock. Heck there were barely any streetlights turned on.


Buncha cheap skates.

Shops open at varying times in my area I think. The malls and supermarkets usually open at around 10am. They stay open until 9pmor laterif there's a movie house ( the shops inside are closed though ). Cafes and fastfoods are open at 6am or so.

mostly 9-9 or 8-9

one supermarket did stay open 24 hours a day and I enjoyed doing my shopping between midnight and 2 am but they have changed their hours to 8-9 because there was not enough business. We are not in a huge city but a suburban area on the outskirts of a metropolitan area.

I never really kept track of when stores open. I just drive or walk there and hope for the best. We do have a A Winco nearby that is open 24-7. Also having a chat with people there some of them get paid pretty damn good.

Most McDonald's are here but our council will not allow it, so I have to travel almost an hour to get a 24 hour one

Waffle House and IHop are open 24/7. Most fast food places are open until 12am or so during the week and close between 1 and 3am on the weekends. There are a few local places that are open late. The walmart is open 24/7 and the other local grocery stores are open from 6am to 10pm. The mall is open from 10am to 9pm.
