What time does Walmart open on Dec. 26? Day-after-Christmas store hours

Walmart closed Christmas Day, but you can expect the nation's largest retailer to open bright and early on Dec. 26.

Walmart will reopen at 5 a.m. or 6 a.m. (time varies by store) the day after Christmas for those wanting to make exchanges or grab a few after-holiday bargains. Stores will resume normal hours after that time, with many locations open 24-hours-a-day.

Generally, merchandise purchased at Walmart can be returned within 90 days without or without a receipt. There are exceptions, of course, such as contract cell phones, plants and shrubs, firearms and ammunition, prescription drugs and some over-the-counter medication, which must be returned within 14 days with a receipt.

Typically, the two-week limit on returns also covers drones, computers, camcorders, digital cameras, digital music players, e-tablets, e-readers, portable video players, GPS units, video game hardware, and prepaid cell phones. However, during Christmas, items purchased between Nov. 1-Dec. 24 will be subject to a 15-day return period that won't start until Dec. 26.

A change in Walmart's name

Walmart is getting a new name in the new year.

The company recently announced it was changing its name from Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to Walmart Inc., effective Feb. 1, 2018. The retailer said the name change demonstrates the company's growing emphasis on the varied nature of its business: in stores, online, on their mobile device, or through pickup and delivery.

"Our customers know us as Walmart and today they shop with us not only in our stores but online and with our app as well," said Doug McMillon, Walmart president and CEO. "While our legal name is used in a limited number of places, we felt it was best to have a name that was consistent with the idea that you can shop us however you like as a customer."

Walmart operates more than 11,600 stores and clubs in 28 countries.
