It’s the eleventh hour for the Christmas procrastinators among us.

Fortunately for everyone, GOBankingRates.com has put together a list of stores and restaurants that are open for business. Although most retailers plan to lock up around 6 p.m. tonight, there are a couple of notable exceptions.

According to GOBankingRates, Target plans to stay open until 10 p.m., while J.C. Penny won’t be turning out the lights until 11.

Publix and most other large grocery chains will close around 7 tonight.  But as for drug stores, it’s pretty much business as usual for both CVS and Walgreens.

GOBankingRates.com says it relied on data from previous years to compile this year’s list.  The site recommends checking with your local stores before you head out the door.
