Ipsos: more than two-thirds of the Hungarians oppose the mandatory Sunday store closure

According to the recent survey of Ipsos, the Hungarians typically spend Sundays at home, but nearly a quarter of them scheduled the purchase of food and household items for the last day of the week. More than two thirds of the adult population do not agree with the mandatory Sunday store closure.

From 15 March 2015, stores over 200 square meters, and stores where no owners or family members are working, cannot be open on Sundays. Exceptions are the pharmacies, stores operating in areas of railway and bus stations, airports, markets, petrol stations, restaurants (hotels, bars, restaurants), stores in tourism-frequented areas, stores in spas, museums and theaters as well as bakeries and flower shops.
