One of the city’s most popular malls is extending its hours.

Beginning Saturday, the Eaton Centre will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.

A mall spokesperson says research showed people wanted more time to shop.

The extended hours will run until Jan. 1, when it will be reviewed to see whether it is viable to continue.
