Trade Workers' Day

Professional holidayUntil 1998, it was celebrated as the Day of Trade Workers, Consumer Services and Housing and Communal Services on the fourth Sunday of March.

Decree of the President of Belarus No. 157 of March 26, 1998 stipulates that Trade Workers Day will be celebrated on the last Sunday of July.

Even on their professional holiday, almost 620,000 people celebrate their professional holiday in the workplace. Thanks to them, we will be able to buy bread, milk, clothes, shoes, your favorite newspaper and much more.

Belarusians can make purchases almost all day. 60% of grocery stores start at 8 a.m. and finish serving customers after 21 hours. Half of the non-food stores accept first shoppers at 10am and finish up after 19pm.

Trade has been and remains one of the most important sectors of the economy and is developing more dynamically and rapidly than ever. Every year new retail enterprises appear in Belarus: from convenience stores to ultra-modern shopping centers and hypermarkets. The range of goods is constantly expanding, the type of trading establishments is changing, the quality of services and the level of service are improving. Attention and benevolence towards customers, conscientious attitude to their duties, professionalism are the hallmarks of the capital's trade workers.

Please accept sincere congratulations on your professional holiday, dear trade workers!!!
