On the 1st of October 2012, the “closing law” was abolished and replaced with the “public holidays law” which states that stores need to close on public holidays, Constitution Day, Christmas Eve and after 15 on New Year’s Eve. Otherwise, they can be open 24/7. Some store managers from smaller communities are asking for the “public holidays law” to be amended so that they can close on Sundays and earlier during work days.
- Enhedslisten and Alternativet support the idea of supermarkets closing at an earlier hour and on Sundays.
- Konservative are against making changes to the law.
