Penneys could open 24 hours the day after Lockdown ends

Can you imagine a 3am trip to Penneys?

If there's one thing we've all been missing the last few weeks it's Penneys. I don't know how many social media posts I've seen of people lamenting the days you could casually walk into Penneys to buy jammies and underwear. If you're missing your Penneys fix you could be in for some good news as there's talk of Penneys becoming a 24 hours shop once Lockdown lifts. According to The Telegraph the boss of Penneys has called for its stores to open 24 hours a day after lockdown restrictions are eased in the lead up to Christmas. He believes that many people will want to get into Penneys once it opens and that having the stores open for longer will help maintain social distancing. Considering the queues the last time they reopened after the first Lockdown this doesn't sound like a bad idea. Not only would the additional hours mean more customers will be able to get their Christmas shopping done but for frontline workers and those doing shift work it could be an absolute godsend. I know several people working in healthcare that can never catch the shops while they're open because of their working hours that would really appreciate this. When discussing the subject a spokesperson for Penneys said;

"We would welcome any extension of opening hours for our stores when we re-open in December as it will allow us to cater for the higher anticipated customer demand and help to reduce customer queues by spreading potential shopping hours over a longer period of time."
