– There is no doubt that grocery prices will go up. Sales of food will not increase correspondingly expenses. That means that the stores do not get increased turnover, only that people will spread food purchases over a day, says CEO Reidar Molthe in Dagligvarehandelen.no VG.

Friday the Government presents the proposal Sunday opening stores, which they all bask brands get majority in Parliament. The compromise is that each municipality itself should decide whether Sunday opening should be okay.

Meanwhile, all the major grocery chains that they will keep many of its stores open on Sundays, which also the two largest shopping center owners, Olav Thon Group and Sector Group, say they will do.
