Trading Sundays 2020: The New List of Trading Sundays
From January 2020, the trade ban applied to all Sundays of the month, with seven exceptions a year. This still causes a certain confusion for customers. Because the exceptions were made chaotically throughout the year and the dates are hard to remember.
–
Let us remind you that when the trade ban was introduced in 2017, it applied only to two Sundays a month – the first and the last. As of 2019, Sunday trading laws limited trading to one Sunday per month. Now no more shopping on Sundays.

Clients are disappointed with such a huge restriction on trading on Sunday. But it is worth remembering that small purchases can always be made at gas stations and small shops, with the owner standing behind the counter.

Recall that the ban on trading on Sundays has been in force since March 2018. Initial fears of employers did not prove to be true, and the situation has stabilized. Most stores also extended their work on Saturdays, because this day is the highest turnover. Many people also shop during the week.
Earlier we wrote: This is how the ban on Sunday trading began
How have shopping centers adapted to the new situation and what can customers expect in the coming months?
The Polish Council of Shopping Centers centralizes the voices of industry representatives on the new law. In research commissioned by PRCH, the main concerns related to the ban on trade are customers of shopping centers they pointed out chaos, traffic jams and queues on Saturdays. After the first months of the law being in force, these fears were not fully confirmed. Although on Saturdays you can observe more traffic in retail outlets.

Don’t overlook it
At the beginning, it was also unclear to customers whether cinemas, restaurants and services located in the centers would be available. The study shows that, to a similar degree as consumer confusion, it is problematic to deprive them of the possibility of choosing the form of spending free time with their family in shopping malls and to make it difficult to do big family shopping.
–
PRCH actively participated in discussions on the introduction of the Act and presented arguments regarding its unfavorable socio-economic effects for entrepreneurs, employers, employees and consumers. She pointed out legislative and substantive errors and contradictions, and ultimately requested that the Parliament and the President reject it. Together with other organizations related to the trade and service industry, it also proposed an alternative solution that would meet the demands of the trade unions, i.e. guaranteeing trade workers two mandatory Sundays a month, thanks to the amendment to the Labor Code. However, the voice of industry representatives was not heard.

Don’t overlook it
The act was signed and on March 16 it was the second Sunday of the trading ban. Radosław Knap, PRCH CEO explains the actions taken by industry representatives.
– Managers of shopping centers are preparing to ban trading, but make their decisions dependent on the conditions in which a specific facility operates. It depends, among others on the profile of the shopping center, the number and type of retail and service outlets, and local shopping habits. Openings on Sundays without trade have been announced by large centers throughout Poland, due to the facilities located in them, which, in accordance with the law, may operate, e.g. cinemas, restaurants, ice cream parlors, florists. The plans also include smaller facilities with this type of service premises exempt from the ban.
–
At the moment, it is difficult to say how many customers will use the open branches.
The owners of the centers will probably make the final decisions regarding the opening of the facilities on Sundays covered by the ban after the quarter, when the effects of the ban can be assessed. We know that throughout Poland, managers determine how many outlets in a given center will be open under the new act.
Another solution considered is to extend the opening hours during the week. Some outlet centers, for example, have already implemented them. This is due to due to the fact that they are usually located on the outskirts of cities and many customers plan to visit them in advance.
–
PRCH data shows that so far half of the customers have visited outlet centers on weekends. The closing on Sunday will mean big changes for their customers. We know that the managers of other shopping centers, mainly in the largest cities, have also already decided to extend the operating hours of the centers on Saturdays and Fridays, and in many other shopping centers analyzes are underway to determine whether the extension of working hours will have an effect.
–
Imprecise provisions of the act and very short vacatio legis cause difficulties for owners of shopping centers, shops and employees. Only in March we will find out what difficulties await customers.
