Why Sachsen-Anhalt benefits from digital local supply
Out-migration and closing shops reinforce one another. Reliable local supply with long opening hours can counteract this cycle.
Saxony-Anhalt has permitted Sunday and public-holiday opening of staff-free stores since 8 March 2025 (DHBW, as of 2026). Here, friedas can provide supply around the clock at the weekend too.
