Groceries closed, drugstores open on Christmas Day

Be sure to make your holiday grocery list early and check it twice because come Christmas Eve, the supermarkets will be closing and they won't reopen until Dec. 26.

Only the drugstores, along with some gas stations, will be open Christmas Day for those forgotten ingredients or gifts.

Food Lion, Kroger and Lowes Foods all close at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Harris Teeter stores will be open one hour later until 7 p.m.

After that, you'll have to head to the drugstores.

Here are their Christmas hours:

CVS: Hours vary. Check your local store.

Rite Aid: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Select pharmacies: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Walgreens: Regular stores open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Twenty-four hour stores open as usual. Pharmacies open in select stores and all 24-hour stores.

 

 

Updated: Black Friday for night owls

It's beginning to look like you won't need to get up early for Black Friday sales this year. You'll simply have to stay up late to cash in on deals during the first official day of the holiday shopping season.

 

Macy's announced Monday it will open its doors at midnight Black Friday, the first time ever for the retailer. And now Kohl's has joined in and will also open at midnight.
