    Not in my area either. There were a lot of 24x7 Grocery stores pre -2020.

    I am not sure that they reduced hours because of not trusting people though. I am sure they reduced hours because people get a lot more delivered.

    There was one Walmart by us that would try to be open 24/7, it would last a month before something would happen and they would go regular for 6-8 months before trying again.

    So I do see that being a legit reason for some.

    I bet they can’t keep it staffed.

    The location was right off the main highway, so I think it was the thefts. Dunno if it was the police telling them they couldn’t or whatever.

    The ones further in the communities don’t have as quick a getaway and less secluded?

    A lot of stores like Walmart do their stocking and cleaning at night, so there are generally some staff there anyway. So, the cost for Walmart is usually just a couple of cashiers to handle the nighttime traffic.

    We used to have a very small handful of 24/7 supermarkets before covid. Now I think we have one in the entire city of 1.6million. Everything closes before 8pm. I think its just a mix of people not wanting to spend money because everything is expensive and violent crime. There is to many random assaults caused by drunk people.
