The Walmart in my area also switched from 24 hours to 6-11, I doubt theft was the primary factor. The store was always practically empty when I would go there overnight.
I suspect COVID made it clear staying open those hours didn't increase their profit, as several other local stores open late made similar changes.
- wrp 4y agoThis was a year or two before COVID. I think the reason why supermarkets stay open through the night is that they use the night hours for restocking shelves and figure they might as well be open for business. For the big stores like Winco, I think they all went back to 24-hour when allowed to by the state government. During COVID, they didn't switch to shorter hours by choice.
