Why Thüringen benefits from digital local supply
In the Thuringian Forest and rural districts, supply routes are long. Digital stores with a regional range bring supply and identity together.
In Thuringia, Sunday opening is not yet permitted; a cabinet decision provides for opening up to 400 m² in smaller municipalities (up to 3,000 inhabitants) (DHBW, as of 2026). friedas already offers the longest possible opening hours today.
