Many larger supermarkets across England and Wales will operate on reduced hours for the August bank holiday on Monday, 31 August. Tesco, Waitrose, and Aldi will mostly open from 8am to 6pm or 8pm, while Sainsbury's and Asda expect to close later, around 10pm. Shoppers should check their local store's specific times as smaller branches often keep normal hours.
