Poland to lift Sunday trading ban on August 30

August 30, 2026, will be a designated trading Sunday in Poland, meaning the standard Sunday trading ban will not apply. This allows major retail chains, including Biedronka, Lidl, Kaufland, Carrefour, and Auchan, to operate.

In addition to large supermarkets, shopping malls will also be able to open their stores, including clothing, footwear, electronics, and drugstores. This date serves as a significant shopping opportunity for many before the start of the new school year. While stores are permitted to open, specific operating hours may vary by individual location and network.
