Many businesses are closed on Christmas Day, but some are keeping their doors open, even if only for limited hours, to accommodate anyone who needs to grab a last-minute grocery or wants to eat out for the holiday.
Many big-box stores such as Costco, Walmart, Best Buy, Lowe's, Home Depot and Target were open for last-minute shopping on Christmas Eve, but are shuttered for the holiday.
Options are scanty for those who need to grab some last-minute ingredients for Christmas dinner, though some grocery chains will have some stores open.
- ACME: Some of the 161 Acme stores in the northeast will be open, but customers are encouraged to call their local Acme before venturing out.
- Vons, Pavilions: Some Vons and Pavilions stores will be open until 3 p.m., but customers are likewise encouraged to check local hours.
- Ralphs: Some Ralphs locations will stay open until 5 p.m.
- Safeway: Some Safeway stores will remain open until 7 p.m.
