Google Is Now Publishing Holiday Store Hours for Maps and Search

The feature is available for shoppers worldwide

We've all been there: Drive all the way to a store to buy a last-minute gift…only to find your lifeline has already locked its doors.

Google is trying to cut down on that recurring theme of the holiday season by making holiday store hours available in maps and search.

The update, announced today, will show results for whenever a major holiday is happening within the following seven days. If hours aren't listed by a store online, Google will display a warning message reminding users that hours might be different than normal.

The feature is available around the world.
