Bhat-Bhateni Bhaktapur to Open Grocery Section 24 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week From Bhadra 1

Bhat-Bhateni Supermarket’s Bhaktapur branch is set to introduce round-the-clock grocery shopping from Bhadra 1, giving customers the option to buy daily essentials at any time of the day or night.

The Bhaktapur store will keep its Grocery section open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, according to the announcement shared by the company. The new service is expected to help customers who need groceries late at night, early in the morning, or outside normal shopping hours. The move also marks a notable change in how supermarket services are offered in the Kathmandu Valley.

The 24-hour operation will initially apply only to the Grocery section. Other departments inside the Bhat-Bhateni Bhaktapur store will continue to operate according to their regular schedules. The company says it will monitor customer response and the store’s operations in the coming weeks as it begins the new service.

Why Bhat-Bhateni’s 24-Hour Grocery Service Matters

Shopping for groceries is usually limited to daytime and evening hours in Nepal. Bhat-Bhateni’s new plan could make things easier for people who work late shifts, travel during unusual hours, have busy schedules, or suddenly need essential items at night.

The move could also change customer habits in Bhaktapur. Instead of waiting until the next morning, customers will have the option of visiting the store whenever the Grocery section is operating. The company’s decision to begin with groceries also shows that the focus is on essential everyday products rather than keeping the entire department store open throughout the night.

What Will Be Open 24 Hours?

It is important to note that Bhat-Bhateni Bhaktapur will not have every department open around the clock.

The 24-hour service will initially cover the Grocery section only. Other departments will continue operating during their normal business hours. Customers looking for clothing, electronics, household products, or other non-grocery items may therefore still need to visit during the store’s regular operating schedule.
