What are the usual opening hours?
Most UK branches of May Sum trade through lunch and evening service, but exact opening times vary by location - check your nearest store before you visit.

Many May Sum locations support delivery through their own channels or major UK apps. Coverage and fees depend on your postcode and the branch.
