After Lidl, Rossmann also made the decision to close its stores on December 24. In this way, more than 200 stores will join the Christmas shop closure, the company says in its announcement on HVG.hu. As we wrote , Lidl was the first to join the initiative of the CÖF and Egyenlő.hu to keep the commercial units closed on December 24.
According to the store network, it is extremely important to provide security and support for their employees in the accelerated commercial environment. The announcement adds,
they see Lidl as exemplary - they stood behind the CÖF and ordered the closure - and they also make it possible for everyone to spend this day preparing, in the company of their loved ones.
The company management voted unanimously to close the Christmas store.
The department store chain announced the closing of the Christmas store as a key partner of the Civil Solidarity Forum and Egyenlő.hu,
gives all 8,500 employees a day off on Christmas Eve.
The other retail players are also open to the idea, but have not yet decided on the matter. The National Association of Entrepreneurs and Employers considers dialogue to be important, but administrative tightening is harmful. For the time being, the government is against the mandatory closing of shops on Christmas Eve.
