Boxing Day 2025: Supermarket Hours Cut as Several Chains Remain Closed

More retailers are prioritising staff time off, prompting shoppers to verify local hours or use online options.

Overview

  • Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons are open on reduced schedules today, commonly around 9am to 6pm, with variations for convenience branches and in Scotland.
  • Aldi is shut for the day, while John Lewis and most Waitrose stores are closed and M&S is not trading in stores.
  • Waitrose says a small number of sites are operating for delivery platforms such as Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat despite physical stores largely being closed.
  • Primark and B&M are trading with shortened, location-specific hours, whereas Home Bargains and The Range have kept all stores closed and are directing shoppers to online deals.
  • Lidl’s arrangements are inconsistently reported, with some outlets citing openings inside the M25 and in Scotland and closures elsewhere, so customers should check the store finder for their local branch.
