New Year, new hours for the popular mall.

Over the last few years, the Poughkeepsie Galleria had to shift its operating hours due to a few circumstances. Obviously the first was the outbreak of COVID and just like many businesses in the Hudson Valley, the Galleria was forced to shorten the shopping day.

At the beginning of 2022, the Galleria announced that they were going to be open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m.- 7 p.m. and from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. on Sundays. The hours of operation changes led to many stores closing earlier than they ever had before, which then led to employees losing hours and losing money.
