“…Naturally, Sunday retail restrictions also bring effects and consequences apart from mobility changes. These include their impact on the labour market (Paul, 2015), and the distribution of the lost turnover from non-trading Sundays (Choi and Jeong, 2016). The conclusions to be drawn there are partially related to spatiality, and thus, they may be used to theorise on customers' spatial behaviours.…”

“…Although the imposition of Sunday trading restrictions results in a slight drop of net sales (if we take into account the growth observed on other days of the week), and leads to people shopping on alternative days and, partially, also in different places (e.g. small shops: Choi and Jeong, 2016), in their study on changing business hours, Bell et al (1997) indicate that such restrictions encouraged consumers to shop where stores were clustered, thus reducing their time-based costs.…”

The impact of statutory Sunday retail restrictions on the transport behaviours of people living in the Polish post-socialist city of Lodz is investigated in this article. One carrier of information on journeys undertaken in the city is data from induction loops – a part of the city’s Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The second source of data is a two-stage questionnaire survey (concerning trading and non-trading Sundays) of the city’s inhabitants, aimed at defining any changes in their transport behaviours with reference to the introduction of retail restrictions. The research was conducted to assess the way in which the new statutory restrictions affect transport behaviour discharged after the political transformation. The results of the research conducted on the transport behaviours of Lodz residents indicate that the majority of their transport behaviours clearly depend on whether a given Sunday is a trading or non-trading day. The traffic load of the urban road network (perceived as the manifestation of residents’ spatial mobility) is characterised by a distinct changeability due to the legislative restrictions related to Sunday trading. There is both a time (daily and hourly) differentiation of traffic flows and a spatial changeability of the load in the urban space, when a comparative analysis is conducted of the results of observations made in the weeks preceding trading and non-trading Sundays. The study also demonstrates that the time previously devoted to Sunday shopping is currently spent not only at home, but also allocated to new (and until now unperformed) activities that often require travelling.

“…The data of sales during these periods are provided from Emart and Lotte Mart. Previous studies (Cho 2014;Cho et al 2015;Choi and Jeong 2016;Jung and Kim 2015;Kim 2016) have not used the real sales data of the large discount chains. Previous empirical findings about the impact of the regulation of the business hours on the size of sales of the mega stores may have problems due to measurement errors.…”

Recently the large discount retailers (LDRs) including large discount chains (e.g., Emart, Homeplus, and Lotte Mart) and super supermarkets (SSMs) have been at the center of disputes in the retail industries in Korea. The 2012 Distribution Industry Development Act has allowed the head of a city or county to regulate the business hours between large mega-retailers and small and family-run stores in the neighborhood. The regulation of the business hours of the large discount retailers may have heterogeneous effects on their sales depending on various contexts of the market situation. The reduction of the business hours assumes a significant negative effect on the amount of sales of LDRs. However, the degree of reduction may significantly differ from how the LDRs respond to the regulation. The reduction of sales of LDRs is natural if LDRs affected by the regulation do not make any effort to promote sales. On the other hand, if LDRs try to maintain their sales with various marketing strategies and resources, their sales may not decrease and even relatively increase compared to the size of the sales for LDRs that are not affected by the regulation. In addition, although the regulation of the business hours for LDRs can reduce operating hours, their sales may increase due to an increase of market demand in some growing places. For instance, the sales in LDRs located at the market place where new large housings and apartments have been growing may increase. The increasing demand derived from the new population growth can cancel out the decrease of the sales from the regulation of the business hours. Our findings, relying on using DID method before and after the regulation, show three different types of the impact of the regulation change on the sale of LDRs across five regions including decreasing, constant, and increasing patterns.

“…In some EU Member States there is no restriction on timetable nor Sunday opening. Italy, therefore, belongs to the group of countries with a more competitive discipline, but certainly it is not an exception in the European panorama (Kovács and Sikos, 2016;Choi and Jeong, 2016;Clemenz, 1990;Ingene, 1986;Kay and Morris, 1987;Price and Yandle, 1987;Tanguay and Upton, 1986).…”

The Sunday opening of shops is a very debated topic on both international and national levels. On a European level, the regulation of Sunday work is varied, with most Member States that, like Italy, do not impose restrictions on openings and working hours. The present work aims to analyze the European reference framework of Sunday openings, focusing on the Italian situation, which is currently experiencing proposals for change. Moreover, from the statistical analysis of the purchase data made in the main Italian stores of a multinational company, the "profile of the Sunday consumer" is highlighted, analyzing the characteristics and peculiarities that orient Sunday shopping. The Two Step cluster analysis provides different profiles, among which emerges the consumer profile of Sunday, which assumes peculiar characteristics and different from those of consumers of the other days of the week.
