With just over two weeks until Christmas, many people will be flocking to shopping centres to pick up some last-minute gifts.
The run-up to Christmas can be hectic as businesses become busier and time to head to the shops becomes scarce. However, many shops extend their opening hours to accommodate the droves of people who only get the chance to nip to the shops after work.
As Covid cases remain high across the country, some shops have limited the number of people allowed into their store at any given time, so extended opening hours are a welcome introduction.
