Stores are extending their opening hours before November 1. Where can you shop until late?

As every year, before November 1, Poles flock to stores to buy candles, flowers and food products. In response to the increased traffic, the largest discount chains decided to extend their opening hours. Biedronka announced that on Friday and Saturday over 3,000 of its stores will be open at least until 11:30 p.m. Lidl is also not lagging behind - this chain's branches will be open until 11 p.m. or even longer. Similarly, Netto - here we can shop until 11 p.m.

Not everyone extends their hours

Not all chains have decided to extend working hours. Kaufland and Carrefour's own stores will remain open during standard hours. An exception may be some Carrefour franchise stores, where the owners can independently decide to open longer.

November 1 – shops closed

It is worth remembering that on November 1, i.e. All Saints' Day, there is a statutory trading ban. This year, the holiday also falls on Sunday, which means that most stores will be closed. Violating the trade ban carries severe penalties - from PLN 1,000 to even PLN 100,000, and in case of persistent violation of the regulations - restriction of liberty.
