    co-op store is open.I work there we are open 9am-8pm.We are not a large store though so supermarket size might not be open.

    That's good to know, might pop in there for some bits....hate the big supermarkets.
    Thanks
  • i think the majority of them are opened probably bank holiday hours.

    ikea is opened as i checked earlier. costco was closed last year so might be the same this year

    Hi, does anyone know if Clarks is open today? Hoping it will be nice and quiet in town and I might get away with buying the kids shoes without the usual madness/rush!
  • I want a day off shops for one day off the year. I was shocked to see that our large Asda was opening today. Seriously if peeps can't manage without shops for one day there is something seriously wrong imho.
