In order to pay attention to the Christmas holidays calmly and peacefully, SPAR Hungary also decided to keep most of its stores closed on December 24.
With the exception of INTERSPARs and SPAR and City SPAR supermarkets in some shopping centers, SPAR Hungary will keep most of its self-operated stores closed on December 24.
Gabriella Heiszler, president and managing director of SPAR Hungary, said that those working in trade have to cope with more energy in the period before Christmas, so they want the majority of their employees to spend Christmas Eve at home.
In order for the majority of our 14,000 employees to be able to spend Christmas Eve at home, surrounded by family and friends, in a peaceful and dignified manner, and prepare for the holidays, our company has decided to keep the majority of its self-operated units closed on December 24
Heiszler announced.
INTERSPAR hypermarkets and SPAR and City SPAR supermarkets in some shopping centers will be open until 12:00 on December 24. Franchise stores - SPAR partner, SPAR market - as well as units located at filling stations - SPAR express, Orlen-DESPAR - decide on their opening hours themselves, as their operation is independent of SPAR Hungary in this regard.
A huge thank you goes to those who will also be working on Christmas Eve. We hope that in the future a unified regulation will be created that will regulate the opening hours on December 24th for the entire trade
Heiszler added.
The company is prepared for the Christmas shopping period, and its stores, dressed in festive attire, await customers with a diverse range of goods, comfort products and services in all product categories.
Several other Hungarian store chains have already decided to
the call of the CÖF and the Egyenlő.hu trade union and are closed on Christmas Eve.
Lidl was the first to start the line , on December 24th it will keep all its stores closed, and Rossmann , Penny and Mountex .
