There were no "big box" stores back then and one of the things I remember from the late 50's/early 60's was that pretty much all the stores would close at noon or 1pm on Wednesdays and then stay open until 8 or 9pm on Thursdays. Most stores closed by 6pm on Saturday evening and almost NOBODY was open on Sundays.
