Following new legislation, two Sundays in every month are free from trading, which is a completely new situation for people across Poland. Many have not yet got used to this new ‘custom’ which was introduced by the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party. Although the shopping centres are closed this on certain Sundays, Poles have handled this ‘problem’ and trade is flourishing at petrol stations. Previous months have shown a record increase of sales on trading Sundays. After the Sunday trading ban had been introduced, it was clear to see that a large group of consumers would not give up shopping on this day. It seems Polish people will still need time to get used to this new law and how to creatively spend their free time, but not necessarily in shopping centres.
