Trading ban on Sunday.  Will supermarkets be open on Sunday 28 January 2024?  The first Sunday of its kind in 2024

January 28 is the first Sunday this year without a trading ban. This means that large stores and shopping malls will be open.

The law introducing a gradual ban on Sunday trading came into effect on March 1, 2018. In 2024 – similar to 2023 – there will be seven trading Sundays. According to the regulations, the trade ban will not be implemented on the last Sundays of January, April, June and August, the Sunday before Easter, and the subsequent Sundays before Christmas.

This means that the next and first Sunday of the year is January 28th.
