In addition to the two Christmas holidays, the PENNY 230 store in Hungary is also closed on December 24 this year. In the days leading up to this, the store chain tries to make it easier for its customers to prepare with longer opening hours. This is not the first time in PENNY’s history that it does not open on December 24th. The last time it decided in 2016 was to keep its shops closed on Christmas Eve, which falls on a Sunday.

The management of PENNY, after examining the interests of its employees and customers, and also in response to the request of the Commercial Employees’ Trade Union (KASZ), decided to keep all of its stores closed between December 24 and 26. At the same time, the store chain is waiting for customers with extended opening hours on December 22 and 23.

“According to Hungarian traditions, the family gathers on December 24, i.e. Christmas Eve. This year, thanks to the PENNY decision, all our employees once again have the opportunity to spend the preparation period with their loved ones on this day. Of course, when making the decision, we also kept the interests of our customers in mind, so we provide them with longer opening hours in the days leading up to the holiday.”

– said Eszter Kazatsay, head of communications at PENNY in Hungary.
