On This Day | Fall Shopping Hours Extend Into Evening
Author
MinotVoice
Minot evening shopping hours will go into effect on October 3rd, the first Thursday in October. The retail merchants division of the Minot Chamber of Commerce, at a special meeting last week voted to remain open one night a week until the first of the year, on a trial basis.

Why We Chose It
This remains a challenge today, with retail businesses of Minot keeping each their own unique hours. In the past, the Chamber wielded enough influence with retailers to talk them into acting together… and just in time for the holiday shopping season. But also notice, the late hours on Thursday also came with a later opening time… hmmm… is that an idea for our own time?
