Here Are the Stores That Are Open on Christmas Day
As the band Europe sang so eloquently, "It's the final countdown." Christmas is just a blink away and you can blame work or holiday travel all you want, but you're still struggling to get the right gift for those last few people on your list — or maybe you forgot. Whatever it is, it's crunch time.
You're not the only one. About 18% of U.S. consumers admitted that they would go Christmas shopping — and gift-returning — on the very day if they had the choice, according to a poll by LoyaltyOne.
Basically everything is open on Christmas Eve, but there's just a few choice retailers for those real procrastinators open on Christmas day. Below is a list of the stores open on Christmas, compiled by GOBankingRates. It may not be the best selection, but maybe you'll have a better game plan for next year.
7-Eleven
On this day, 7-Eleven truly embodies its quality of convenience. There's probably one right on your route over to Christmas dinner. In fact, 7-Eleven claims that Christmas Day sales are among the largest of the year.
