Japan: Aeon opening earlier
The nation's biggest retailer is counting on people who may want to shop in cooler hours in the morning or before going to work when some businesses are expected to move up their starting hours to save electricity.
The change will be implemented from June 1st and will remain in place until September.
No changes are planned for the closing hours. The group, however, will keep electricity consumption at last year's level or even lower by increasing the use of power-saving lighting, for instance.
