Extended trade during the silly season
IF you love to shop late, you can take your pick for midnight trading on the Fraser Coast this year.
Pialba Place Coles store manager Robert Dykes said 2017 was the first time they would have midnight trading for more than one night in the lead up to Christmas.
There are six of the late nights at Coles and Woolworths stores in the region including the first night which happened on Monday (see trading hours factbox).
"We just want to make it as stress free for shoppers as possible and we do expect it to get busy from Thursday onwards," Mr Dykes said.
"Being the first year we don't know exactly what to expect but it's important to have these added hours to give customers more options and make it as stress free as possible," he said.
Mr Dykes said they had put on twelve extra Christmas staff for the busy period and had extended the hours of current staff members.
With Christmas falling on Monday this year, Mr Dykes said the extended trade also gave shoppers heading away for a long weekend a chance to get their fresh goodies before going on holidays.
