Sunday closing is mandatory this time
This Sunday falls exactly on October 23, so Hungarian customers should prepare for it and do their bulk shopping on the other days of the week. Incidentally, this is the 3rd holiday in 2022 that falls on a Sunday, but not the last.

This time, the national holiday falls on Sunday
It has long been the main rule that shops are closed on national holidays in our country. That’s why it won’t be any different on October 23. This means that the shops of the shopping centers, DIY stores, or even the largest retail chains, such as Tesco, Auchan, Lidl, Spar, Aldi, Penny, all or almost most of the shops will not open on this day.
It is worth noting that the CBA, Príma network, and Coop and Real stores operate with different opening hours for each store during the holiday period, it is worth checking the opening hours of the given store by looking at the information posted on the Internet or in the stores. It should also be pointed out that, for example, OMV Spar express stores are a kind of exception, as they can also be open during public holidays .
