This national holiday is not listed in the commercial calendar as an opening day, raising questions among consumers about the availability of establishments.
The Workers' Statute, in its article 37.2, states that paid and non-recoverable public holidays cannot exceed fourteen per year, including May 1st.
The opening or closing policy varies depending on the chain and the specific location of each store. However, the general trend is total closure or the application of reduced hours.
Chains such as Mercadona, Carrefour, Lidl, Consum, and Alcampo have confirmed that most of their establishments will remain closed on Workers' Day. For Dia, it is recommended to check their official website, as closures are more common in less populated areas.
“"In Catalonia, public holidays may vary depending on the type of holiday and the locality. Therefore, some Caprabo stores remain open on public holidays with special hours to meet your needs, while others may be closed. To avoid unnecessary travel, we recommend checking the specific opening hours of each supermarket."
For Caprabo, the information is less specific, although the chain suggests that some locations might open with special hours, advising customers to verify each store's hours before traveling.
