Most of the larger supermarkets had a night crew even back in the day when they shut at 8pm. The only reason they weren't 24 hours back then was because they weren't allowed to. Unfortunately with global demands (people must have their Morrocan Raspberries and Quinoa flown in from far flung shores) local retail just can't compete. Even Booths were struggling not so long back.
