Loz Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Lots of signs and leaflet up in Sainsburys DKH today informing one and all that the store will only open from 7am to midnight from next week.I wonder if this is a wider Sainsburys business decision to lower costs. I thought their profits were OK? And DKH is apparently one of their more profitable stores.

chez Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 aww gutted- loved the days of going through the aisles full of machines and the radio playing at 2am Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11151-sainsburys-no-longer-24-hours/#findComment-320621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladymuck Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 How highly inconvenient...they could at least have consulted us who depend on the odd bar of chocolate at 3.00 am in the morning!

citizenED Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Damn - now I can no longer play "dodge the overladen roll-pallette", "chicane through the strewn packaging", "avoid the "street" language of the shelf stackers" and "spot the open check-out", that was a night-time trip to DKH Sainsbos.

PeckhamRose Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Phew, I often work evenings and depending on my mood I either come home via there, or go to Asda (Part Of The Walmart Family...) on Old Kent Road... So glad I still have that choice! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11151-sainsburys-no-longer-24-hours/#findComment-320811 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollybaby Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 No am afraid it does look like the 24 hour opening is over - the leaflet and the announcements given yesterday in store definitely said the store will be shutting at midnight Mon - Fri Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11151-sainsburys-no-longer-24-hours/#findComment-320898 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vik Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Let's hope it means they will use the night time purely for shelf filling so that the aisles aren't packed full of roll cages and trolleys all day as usual!

matthew123 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Big deal, when I was a lad the Co-op used to shut at 5 p.m. and if you missed that it meant a trip to the chippy for your supper :)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11151-sainsburys-no-longer-24-hours/#findComment-321046 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I have no issue with smoking except I can't when I'm asleep, so maybe the insomnia is a blessing. I shall just have to pretend I live in the country and get stocks in.

pommie Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 must only be that sainsburys that is changing its opening hours as no mention of hours changing in my store.I also would have thought the Sydnenham store was busier than DKH bearing in mind its a superstore Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11151-sainsburys-no-longer-24-hours/#findComment-321177 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonM Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I don't think the DKH Sainsbury's is meant to be the "busiest", but the most profitable per square foot?
