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.

Let us remember that the Law Restricting Trade on Sundays and Holidays provides for a list of 32 exceptions.
The ban does not apply to, among others: in post offices, confectioneries, ice cream shops, liquid fuel stations, flower shops, newsagents or cafes. According to the regulations, the ban also does not apply to commercial establishments in which trade is carried out personally by a businessman who is a natural person and works in his name and for his own account.

Echo Richards embodies a personality that is a delightful contradiction: a humble musicaholic who never brags about her expansive knowledge of both classic and contemporary tunes. Infuriatingly modest, one would never know from a mere conversation how deeply entrenched she is in the world of music. This passion seamlessly translates into her problem-solving skills, with Echo often drawing inspiration from melodies and rhythms. A voracious reader, she dives deep into literature, using stories to influence her own hardcore writing. Her spirited advocacy for alcohol isn’t about mere indulgence, but about celebrating life’s poignant moments.
