Ribbon Cutting Eric Richardson

Over on the SkyscraperPage Forums LAofAnaheim notes that apparently Ralphs is sneakily testing a 2am closing time, instead of their original midnight cutoff.

Hey all! Ralphs is open until 2 am!!! I was just in there getting dinner, and I've noticed recently that their doors are open past 12 am. I asked recently "are you open past 12?" and the store manager said "yes, we are doing a test run until 2 am...and it's doing well". Kinda odd they do this with no notice. and the signs still say 5 - 12 am But eh, tell your neighbors, friends, etc.. let's get a 24 hour Ralphs soon! They have no timeline on this test run.

Now it seems to be that if you wanted to actually wanted to make a trial run with new hours a success, you'd go and tell people about it. Then again, I'm often baffled by hour choices. In any case, it's nice to see Ralphs open 21 hours per day instead of a mere 19.

It would be really great if they tested letting us use our Ralph's Club cards to enter and exit (after purchase) instead of those paper tickets.

A Ralph's FastPass for the dash even?

Maybe they can use the extra 2 hours to get rid of the rotten fish they pass off as fresh.

Yep, 12:13 am on a Sunday night/Monday morning and I got milk, eggs and O.J. for the week. The clerk told me that as of now 2 a.m. is the latest they are going to stay open but from the number of people in line (+ 12) people I would assume that would change sooner than later.
