Iceland Foods have announced they will not be open for trading on Boxing Day this year.
Closing store doors on Christmas Eve and re-opening on December 27th, the retailer is prioritising their hard-working staff, giving them the welcome chance to enjoy an extended festive break and make the most of time with friends and family.
All of Iceland’s 1000+ stores will remain closed on Boxing Day across the UK, with it being officially assigned as a bank holiday for staff. The same applies to The Food Warehouse. In Scotland, Iceland will also be closed on New Year’s Day as usual. Opening hours for the wider festive period will vary based on location, with specific store timings announced locally.
Richard Walker, the MD of Iceland Foods, said: “This year has taken its toll on everyone, so officially closing our doors on Boxing Day is just a small token of appreciation to our employees. As we move into the winter months the cost-of-living burden will unfortunately only intensify, and as we work relentlessly to pass on savings and support to our customers, we must also look after our teams who are at the forefront of this crisis everyday across the UK.”
He added: "Iceland and The Food Warehouse shoppers will have plenty of time in the run up to Christmas to get their hands on festive bargains with the brand-new range of festive food available online and instore from 14th November. A dedicated Christmas page has also returned to the website, offering customers, a one stop shop for frozen Christmas products, enabling them to plan ahead with email notifications when their favourite products become available.
"Customers can also take advantage of our unique 3 for £10 deal across a range of lines, where they can save up to a fiver on everyday essentials."
