Sunday shopping season to begin on 1 June

Description:

The new Croatian Sunday-shopping law allows all shops to be open on Sundays from 1 June to 1 October.
Numerous merchants remain dissatisfied, however, since their shops will be able to stay open  open only until 2 pm on Sundays.
The merchants claim early Sunday closings will make it impossible for them to recoup daily expenses and Sunday openings will therefore be unprofitable. They also say it will be impossible to explain to tourists why their shops must close at 2 pm.
The new regulation could affect furniture and home-furnishing stores at shopping malls more than others since people tend to visit them in the afternoon or the evening.
The new law banning Sunday shopping, which partially exempts Sunday closures during the summer tourist season, entered into force on 1 January. Numerous shopping malls, markets and supermarkets have failed in their efforts to have the law repealed.
