Which stores are open on June 21, 2026?
All retail outlets are permitted to operate on June 21, according to Dziennik.pl. This includes large supermarket chains like Lidl and Biedronka, as well as general shopping malls. Unlike standard Sundays where trade is restricted and often limited to convenience stores like Żabka, the exemption for this date removes those restrictions for all retail businesses.
How does this fit into the 2026 trading calendar?
June 21 is the only trading Sunday scheduled for the month of June 2026, according to Portal spożywczy. A comprehensive list of all designated trading Sundays for the 2026 calendar year was published on June 19, 2026, by GS24.
What is the impact of the trade ban exemption?
The lifting of the trade ban allows consumers to access full-scale retail services and shopping centers that are typically closed by law on Sundays. Gazeta Prawna confirmed the status of the date, indicating that the exemption applies broadly across the retail sector rather than being limited to specific store types.
