Hi guys and gals,

Thx

Depends on their licence could be 24hours

Can't you purchase alcohol whenever the shop is open?

Not necessarily.

Just saw you only posted this thread 10 mins ago. You can be sure they will be selling it at this time.

Yeah it depends on their license. My local 24 hour tesco use to only sell alcohol between 10am-11pm but now its 24/7

Any time for the Metro+

you can buy alchol from tesco from 8am monday morning to 10pm saturday night and 10 to 4 on a sunday.

metros im quite sure can sell from 7am to 11pm but dont quote me on that as i work in a bigger store.

It depends on the licence for the store granted by the local authority.

Correct. You'll need to ring the store to confirm. Most Extras have a 24 hour license though so 8am Monday through to 10pm Saturday, and (usually) 10-4 on a Sunday.

My local ASDA stops serving after 12am.

Im not sure on the hours but I know my local 24/7 tesco shuts the booze section after a certain time
