While the majority of Leeds shops are open, some retailers have made the decision to stay shut on Boxing Day to allow their staff some much needed time off to spend with their loved ones over the festive period. The likes of Iceland, Waitrose, Aldi and M&S are all staying shut on December 26 to give staff a well-earned break after a busy year and it seems they aren't the only retailers making that decision.
