Opening hours of supermarkets and shopping centers: September 17th, 18th and 19th

It should be taken into account that this year the holidays of Monday, September 18th and Tuesday, September 19th are unavoidable due to National Independence and Army Glory Day, respectively.

For this reason, most establishments cannot open on both days of the week, which may also result in changed opening times and closures on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th, even though these days are not public holidays.

Taking into account the customers who need to make their purchases on these days, the major chains have announced their schedules for the 2023 national holidays. Check out the details communicated on their social networks or websites below.
