Why Sachsen benefits from digital local supply
In structurally weak peripheral areas, shopping close to home is no longer a given. A digital village store keeps the village centre alive.
In Saxony, Sunday opening has been possible since 2023 on the basis of an established administrative practice (up to 100 m², without sales staff, with a range restriction); the existing legal uncertainty is to be reviewed (DHBW, as of 2026). On site, friedas offers the longest possible opening hours.
