⛔ Sunday Trading — What’s Open

All supermarkets except of Żabka and other convenience stores and petrol stations shops are closed on Sundays due to Poland’s Sunday trading restrictions.

  • Żabka — open every Sunday
  • Petrol station shops — open 24/7 (Shell, Orlen, BP)
  • Carrefour Express run by franchise owners — often open
  • A limited number of trading Sundays per year (approximately 7 in 2025–2026 — before Christmas, Easter and a few others) when major chains can legally open
