Shoppers Fair Opening Hours

Shoppers Fair Opening Hours — General Times

Shoppers Fair is operated by Progressive Grocers of Jamaica Limited (PGJ), one of the largest supermarket chains in Jamaica with over 30 branch locations spanning every major parish. While exact business hours differ slightly from branch to branch, the table below captures the standard opening and closing pattern you can expect at most locations.

Friday and Saturday are the busiest grocery shopping days at most Jamaican supermarkets. Shoppers Fair responds to this with extended trading hours — many branches open 30 minutes earlier and close one to two hours later on these days. If you want to beat the crowds, a mid-morning visit on Tuesday or Wednesday is your best bet.
