Times when popular stores will offer Christmas Eve shopping

Christmas Eve can be a busy day for many Americans as they prepare to celebrate the holiday.

For some, this means shopping trips for groceries, gifts or other purchases.

The times when consumers will be able to visit stores on Christmas Eve may depend on the company and location.

That said, wholesalers Costco, Sam’s Club and BJ’s Wholesale Club plan to have their doors open Christmas Eve.

BJ’s Wholesale Club said its holiday hours start at 8 on Tuesdays. Meanwhile, for Sam’s Club, members will have until 18 to shop, the retailer’s website said.
