Notice: New Store Hours

Starting next Monday, our store will open one hour earlier and close one hour later than before. The new hours are from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends.

We have decided to extend our hours because many customers told us that the old schedule was not convenient for them. With the longer hours, you will have more time to shop before and after work.

During the first week, anyone who visits the store will receive a small gift at the entrance. We will also offer a special discount on selected items to thank you for your support.

Please note that the store will be closed on the last Sunday of this month for cleaning and maintenance. The pharmacy section, however, will remain open as usual on that day.

If you have any questions about the new hours, our staff at the information desk will be happy to help you. Thank you for shopping with us.

Cláusulathat the old schedule was not convenient for themcláusula that como objeto

El esqueleto es "We have decided to extend ..." — "decide to + verbo base" significa "decidir hacer." El "because" siguiente introduce una cláusula causal, dentro de la cual "told us that ..." sigue el patrón "tell + persona + cláusula that," donde "us" es el objeto indirecto y toda la cláusula that es el objeto directo. Hasta una frase larga se descompone por lo que el verbo "told" transmitió (la cláusula that) y a quién (us).

Objetoa small gift at the entranceobjeto + lugar

Justo tras el sujeto "anyone," la relativa "who visits the store" restringe el sujeto: "cualquiera que visite la tienda." La relativa queda entre el sujeto y el verbo principal "will receive," que parecen alejados, pero si encierras la relativa, el núcleo es "anyone will receive a gift." El "During the first week" antepuesto es una frase adverbial que presenta primero el tiempo.
