UK: Tesco ends 24-hour shopping at 76 stores

British retailer Tesco has announced the reduction of opening hours at its 76 stores--from 24 hours, they will be closed to customers between midnight and 6 a.m., according to a company release. The changes will take effect between 14th March and 11th April 2016.

Tesco with approximately 400 stores operating round-the-clock said the move aims to help the staff focus on replenishing the shelves and making them fully stocked before the 6 a.m. opening.

“We’re always thinking about how to serve our customers better in each of our stores and with the growth of online grocery shopping, these stores saw very few customers during the night,” added Tony Hoggett, Retail Director for Tesco.
