Amid the summer holiday season, many Poles wonder if Sunday, August 2, 2026, is a trading Sunday, as major supermarkets remain closed under retail ban laws. <\/p>\n
Is there a trading Sunday right in the middle of the holidays? Many Poles ask themselves this question, wondering if they can plan larger shopping trips on Sunday, August 2. We check which stores will be open this coming Sunday.<\/p>\n
Many Poles leave larger shopping for their day off. For most of society, this is Saturday or Sunday, if stores happen to be open. Therefore, is Sunday, August 2, 2026, a trading Sunday? We check which stores will be open.<\/p>\n
When is the nearest trading Sunday? For lovers of quiet weekend shopping, this is not the best news. This week, that option is only available on Saturday. The upcoming Sunday, August 2, 2026, did not make the calendar of trading Sundays. Large-format stores like Kaufland, Auchan, Carrefour, Aldi, Lidl, and Biedronka will therefore be closed.<\/p>\n
The good news, however, is that if we run out of basic groceries, we do not necessarily have to starve. Even on Sundays subject to the retail ban, small neighborhood stores where the owner stands behind the counter can remain open. Most \u017babka stores, where the franchisee usually operates on that day, are also open.<\/p>\n
For fans of Sunday shopping, we have one more piece of news. Later in August, there will be an opportunity to do shopping in markets and shopping malls. However, we will have to wait just a little longer for this occasion. The nearest trading Sunday falls on August 30, 2026.<\/p>\n
Until the end of 2026, there will be only four more trading Sundays, of which as many as three are in December, with the closest one right at the end of August.<\/p>\n
It is worth remembering that the Sunday retail ban does not apply to all entrepreneurs. The legislator has provided a list of exceptions to the rule, and there are quite a few of them. Every Sunday, we can freely use the services of confectioneries, cafes, ice cream parlors, flower shops, and press stores. We can also shop at gas stations and even in postal facilities, provided that the revenue from this activity constitutes at least 40 percent of the sales revenue of the given facility.<\/p>\n
However, breaking the Sunday retail ban carries severe penalties. These range from 1,000 PLN to 100,000 PLN, and persistent violation of the regulations can even carry a penalty of restriction of liberty.<\/p>\n
