How to set a (new) closing day for a shop?

Google Maps tips & tricks
1

Hello,

many shops after the lockdown have permanently changed their opening days and opening hours. There is the possibility to change the opening hour, but I cannot find the option to put as “closed” on a specific day of the week.

I mean, I can suggest only new opening hours but I cannot suggest that for example on Sunday the shop is now closed.

Is there any option that I am missing?

Regards

Alessandro

Hello @Alecat ,

When you enter into edit mode for a place and then expand the hours, you will then see a checkbox to the left of each set of hours. Use the checkbox to indicate which hours you wish to change. You will then be able either change the hours or hit the X beside them to completely delete them. I’ve circled the X in the screenshot below from the browser version of Maps, it is the same in the Maps app.

Hey @Alecat hope you are safe and having a happy quarantine.
Stay safe.
To add a new closing day for any particular place you’ll have to:

  • Search and open the shop on Google maps.
  • Tap on Suggest a edit
  • Then Tap on Change name or other details
  • Now click on Hours (it will be visible on the page.)
  • Tap on ‘Add or remove special hours’ (it will allow you to add a new closing day for the shop)
  • Now tap on any day (Between Monday to Sunday) you want to mark as its ‘New Closing Day’
  • You will land on a page like this:

  • Tap on the (X) (black sign) on the right side of the day hours (As you can see in this photo above)
  • The particular day chosen by you will be marked as the ‘New Closing Day’ for the particular shop. It will look something like this:

In this picture above, you can see I marked the day Friday as ‘closed’ this place… Follow the steps so then you can add a New Closing Day for the shop.

I hope this helps, thank you.

Hello @Flash ,

thank you very much for your explanation, but I think there is a problem on my App version of Google Maps (version 10.41.5 for Android). My Android version is 9.0 (Mobile phone LG V30 version software v31a-EUR-XX)

In fact when I tried to delete the opening hours for a specific shop I could not see any X beside them (look at the screenshot).

Only casually I could notice that if you swipe the display from the left side to the right, than the X function appears. I do not know if is something normal or is a bug of the App. For sure if you do not know how to use it, you cannot see the X (delete function).

Regards

Hi @Alecat

I just wanted to let you know that I have removed the Spanish language tag from your post as it’s written in English. These labels are used so that posts in different languages can be found more easily by Local Guides.

You can learn more about language tags in the article How do I find posts in my preferred language?.
