Full list of shops and supermarkets closing on Boxing Day

THE big Boxing Day sales are here and this year there are more bargains on offer than ever before.

Today is the day many retailers will be hoping to flog excess stock in an effort to make room for Spring lines and ranges.

This year Christmas Day fell on a weekend which meant shoppers had an extended weekend with two bank holidays to search out for deals.

Aldi

Aldi has announced it will close all of its stores this year on Boxing Day as a thank-you to its colleagues for their hard work.

Stores will reopen as usual on Wednesday 27 so customers can pick up their New Year essentials.

B&Q

B&Q also won’t be open on Boxing Day, in fact, shoppers only had until 4pm on Christmas Eve to do their shopping.

The DIY store will reopen again on December 27 at 7am and stay open until New Year’s Eve.

Home Bargains

Home Bargains has said all its stores will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day to ensure that all its staff enjoy the festive period with their loved ones.

The budget retailer has also confirmed it closed all its stores at the earlier time of 5pm on Christmas Eve.
