Great point. As a mystery shopping company, we try to give our shoppers all the information they need to complete and assignment. However, we rarely supply store closing times simply because they can change and sometimes change without our clients notifying us.

There are so many possible scenarios that could make the times we list wrong that we ask the shoppers to verify if they are not sure of the times.

Another thing a shopper needs to be aware of is directions to the location. If a location is in a difficult to see spot, we will try to give landmarks but given we have shoppers coming from all different locations it isn’t feasible to give all possible directions.

Mapquest and Mappoint are two online mapping tools I use frequently. Rand McNally and Google maps also have good, free online mapping software. A couple of them even let you enter multiple locations so you can plan your entire trip on one map. You can also adjust the order if a location isn’t where you thought it was and the sequence makes more sense if you flip your 2nd and 3rd destination.

I hope this helps! Happy Shopping!
