Is this information correct?
Sainsbury’s stores in the UK will be open on both the Early May Bank Holiday (Monday 5th May 2025) and the Spring Bank Holiday (Monday 26th May 2025), but opening hours may differ depending on the region:
Large Sainsbury’s supermarkets in England and Wales typically operate with reduced opening hours on bank holidays, such as 8am to 8pm. This is due to trading laws that require larger stores to limit their hours on certain public holidays. Exact times may vary by location, so it is recommended to check your local store’s details using the Sainsbury’s Store Locator.
In Scotland, these trading restrictions do not apply. Sainsbury’s supermarkets are usually open as normal or with only slight adjustments to their regular hours on bank holidays.
Sainsbury’s Local convenience stores generally have longer and more flexible opening hours than larger supermarkets, and most will be open as usual on bank holidays across all regions. However, some may adjust their hours slightly, so it is always best to check online before visiting.
