Would you like to buy a stylish dress and exquisite champagne for a New Year’s Eve celebration at home? Then you shouldn’t postpone your shopping trip: On New Year’s Sunday, all Swiss shopping malls will be closed.
Only the usual shops are open, which do not have a wide range of shops in train stations and gas stations, and shopping malls, which are allowed to be open 365 days a year due to their relevance to tourism. These include Fashion Outlet in Landquart GR or Foxtown in Mendrisio TI. New Year’s Eve business there will probably be canceled as usual – Katja Grauwiler, a spokeswoman for Via Outlets (the parent company of Landquart Fashion Outlets), reported “record figures both in terms of sales and number of visitors” to Blick on Christmas Eve Sunday.
On Christmas Eve Sunday, salespeople at the Glattzentrum in Wallisellen ZH also had to be there for the last-minute shopping crowds. At least Glatt employees can enjoy New Year’s Eve and not have to go there again.
Patchwork opening on Berchtold Day
If you really want to go shopping but don’t want to go to Landquart or Mendrisio, you’ll have to do the bulk shopping today or tomorrow or wait until Berchtold Day on January 2. Then most shopping malls in Switzerland will reopen.
But not all. Berchtold Day is a public holiday in the cantons of Aargau, Bern, Jura, Thurgau and Vaud.
For example, the Westside in Bern, the Seepark in Kreuzlingen TG and the Wynecenter in Buchs AG will remain closed on January 2. However, Shoppi Tivoli in Spreitenbach AG is still open. No special permission is needed for this, as Shoppi Tivoli boss Patrick Stäuble (54) points out: “January 2 is not a public holiday in Spreitenbach, it is a public holiday in Corpus Christi.” In Aargau, Berchtoldstag is a public holiday only in the districts of Aarau, Brugg, Lenzburg, Kulm, Zofingen and Zurzach, but not in the districts of Baden (including Spreitenbach), Bremgarten, Laufenburg, Muri and Rheinfelden. at the municipal level.
This means that on Berchtold Day not all shopping malls have the same length of skewers. This doesn’t matter for shopping addicts. No one has to endure a “shopping break” longer than two days (New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day).
