Maintain Accurate Store Hours

Avoid having customers show up to an empty store expecting to find you open by keeping your store hours up to date online.

Begin by navigating to Settings > Website > Store Information in Admin.
Single Store: Make sure your hours are accurate as the seasons change.
- If you have seasonal hours, it pays to make the changes as soon as you make them in-store.
- If you're entering the store hours as text, make sure the days are listed sequentially through the week, not broken up like Open: Mon-Wed, Fri-Sat | Closed: Thu/Sun.
- We recommend using the default "Set Specific Hours" option.
Multi-Store: If your stores have separate hours, make sure to select "Hours Differ By Location."
- Edit each location to make the hours correct.

Select your active responsive footer and edit your hours if they display in your footer.

It's rare that anyone is using a banner these days. See if you have a banner in use under Display > Site Settings before editing an outdated Banner.

The hours in the Locations section are directly from the Store Information above, but if you've added a content block with any custom hours information for holiday closures, be sure to update them as necessary.
- When adding custom hours to this page, make sure to add start and end dates to the section so it displays only when necessary.
- You could also add a section that lists all special hours and holidays

Consider adding a thin single-column text block near the top of your page, with a short note about what days you may be closed, or what your special hours may be around holidays.
- Add a start and end date to the section so that it displays only when necessary.
- Use a single content block and adjust for each holiday or special closing so your page isn't too cluttered in page editor.
