Why Niedersachsen benefits from digital local supply
Long distances between places and closing shops make everyday life harder. An economically operated 24/7 store keeps basic supply on site.
In Lower Saxony, Sunday opening is so far possible within the framework of the spa regulation; a draft law without an area limit is before parliament, and municipalities could restrict opening to at least eight hours (DHBW, as of 2026). friedas already offers the longest possible opening hours today.
