Um...8 PM is a good closing time if you have to work. Most of us get off work between 6 and 7. If you and your partner both commute and work it's impossible to keep the pantry and fridge stocked unless you have one of these 8 PM stores near your home.

When I had a store that closed at 8 PM I stopped by there twice a week on my way home from work between 6:30 and 7:00. Now that the only store on my way home closes at 6:30 I rarely make it and we have to plan big grocery shopping days on Saturday, which is a pain.
