Sad that Christmas is officially over? Or relieved the burden of the big family gathering is now behind you?

Whichever camp you fall in, the day after Christmas (December 26) is a good day for a bit of retail therapy at one of the many stores that will be offering a host of post-Christmas sales on a range of items, from electronics, home goods and kitchenware to clothes, shoes and accessories.

Some shops may be open or close earlier than their normal schedules. Here we look at the store hours for some of the country's biggest retail venues.

Walmart

While Walmart was closed on Christmas Day, stores across the country are expected to resume normal hours on December 26. The shops are typically open from around 6 or 7 a.m. to 10 or 11 p.m., or 12 a.m. (local time), while some are open 24 hours.

The store hours vary by branch, so it's best to contact your local venue to confirm exact times or find your nearest branch on the company's website for more information.

Target

Normal store hours also resume at Target on December 26, with most places opening around 7 a.m. and closing around 11 p.m. or midnight (local time). Check the website to confirm the exact hours at your nearest branch by locating the venue at the Target website.
