"We know our customers are pressed for time and that the trend these past few years has been for shoppers to delay their Christmas shopping," said Oakville store manager Randy Powers. "This year, every day leading up to Christmas we expect to see more and more customers come through our doors, with longer and longer holiday shopping lists." The Oakville Wal-Mart, 234 Hays Blvd., will stay open 24 hours a day from December 18 - 24, closing at 6 p.m. the night before Christmas. "We want to meet our customers expectations of great prices, selection and service," said Powers. "Staying open round-the-clock in the days leading up to Christmas is one way to do that."
