i'm quite surprised that they didn't choose any of the really busy ones such as Metrotown in Burnaby, or grandview highway in Vancouver, or Richmond.

i wish the RCSS's would do this 24/7/365...

i don't mind going late at night at 11 or 12 shopping for groceries ... i can get in and get out so much faster as opposed to going in the middle of the day and wait 1/2hr+ for line ups...


BTW, if they're open 24/7, i wonder how they're gonna restock products if customers are there shopping?... restock while the store is open to customers?

safeway's in BC are mostly open from 7am to 12am every day of the week except christmas and new years day. save on foods typically close at 12am although i dont know when they open.

I like the idea of them staying open longer. Closing at 10pm is too early but is staying open 24 hours necessary? I doubt many people will be going in after midnight.

The same as all 24 hour stores like Sobeys do. They have a night shift crew who re-stocks most items overnight. The drop the pallets off around the store, and their tends to be boxes scattered about but nothing that interferes with shopping.

whoever did that press release makes it seem like the other stores don't open 24 hours...after reading it it just sounds like those are the stores open from Dec 10th to 24th.

Grandview Hwy and Richmond have been open 24 hours since Dec 3rd...until the 23rd
They have huge signs advertising it at the front of the store or you can check online for their store hours, they both say 12:00am to 12:00am

Most grocery stores restock during the day as well. They stock as they get product.

I looooooooove late night shopping. I work a swing shift, so most grocery stores are closed when I'm done work. I've only run into issues where they staff only 1 cashier between 10 and 6. They also tend to be chatty and slow, so if there is a rush of 5 people, you're waiting forever in line.

Please edit "Coquitlam" to "Coquitlam Westwood" as there are two stores in Coquitlam and both are on Lougheed Highway. FYI also save on foods opens at 6 am.
