Last-minute Christmas shoppers rejoice. While you may be running out of time to finish your list, stores across the Chicago area are offering extended shopping hours in the lead-up to the holidays.
Some major retailers will be open longer to give those in need of a little more time some wiggle room.
Here's a look at some of the stores planning to stay open longer in the coming days:
Target
Target has extended its hours to 7 a.m. to midnight through Dec. 23. The Minnesota-based chain will also remain open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve. While stores will be closed for Christmas Day, Target plans to get back to regular hours for Dec. 26.
In addition to the in-store shopping, Target said drive up or order pickup will be available until as late as 6 p.m. local time on Christmas Eve.
Orders placed for same-day delivery will arrive within one hour, but the deadline to order is 4 p.m. CT on Dec. 24.
