Subject: Change in business hours at X clothing store
Due to the current struggling economy we will be changing our business hours in an attempt to save money on store operations and allow our employees to work fewer days per week in an effort to save on gas.
Our stores will now be closed on Sundays. Monday through Saturday, our stores will open one hour later and close one hour earlier. I understand that this may affect the convenience for, you, our customers but we feel that this is a necessity in these hard times.
At current, there will be no stores closing but we will also not be opening any new stores. Our employees are expected to provide the best possible service, as they always have.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the potential inconvenience. We hope that you will remain our loyal customers.

Town, AZ 12345
Dear Employee,
Due to the current struggling economy we will be changing our business hours in an attempt to save money on store operations and allow, you, our employees to work fewer days per week in an effort to save on gas.
We will now be closed on Sundays. Monday through Saturday, we will open one hour later and close one hour earlier. I understand that this may affect the convenience for our customers but we feel that this is a necessity in these hard times. As a full time employee, you will now work four, 10 hour days per week. If you are a part time employee, we will adjust your hours according to the hours per week that you work. We will attempt to consolidate all your hours into a 1, 2, or 3 day workweek.
At current, none of our stores will be closing but we will also not be opening any new stores. You are expected to provide the best possible service to customers, as you always have.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the potential
