Arrecife Zona Centro defines business hours for the end of the year and Reyes

The organization of businessmen that come together around the Calle Real de Arrecife, Arrecife Zona Centro, has been working for several months to end one of the main problems that afflict the main commercial hub of the capital of the Island: the schedules. For years, both citizens and public institutions have complained about how unusual it is that stores close at one in the afternoon and eight at night and only open on Saturday mornings.

Extension of hours

Although the solution that has been given does not completely correct the problem, at least it does fix it in part, as explained by the secretary of this organization, Eugenio Hernández. After long discussions, the businessmen have agreed on the schedules they consider most viable to make their opinion and that of the clients compatible. In the month of December, from Thursday the 8th to Sunday the 18th, it will be open morning and afternoon. On cruise ship days, the 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st will also be open on Saturday afternoons, which will allow visitors to access the shops that normally, and to the surprise of the staff, remained closed. As for January, on Thursday the 5th, the eve of Epiphany, it will be open from 9 in the morning to 12 at night uninterrupted, and on Saturday the 7th it will be open in the afternoon.
