MediaMarktSaturn CEO advocates for Sunday store openings to meet customer demand

According to Wildberger, many shoppers want more flexibility to shop on weekends, including Sundays. “We want to offer our customers the most attractive working hours possible. This does not mean that all MediaMarktSaturn stores must be open on Sundays. However, if buyers accept such an offer, I strongly support the concept,” he said in an interview with ntv.de

“MediaMarktSaturn” is a so-called omnichannel service provider that operates both online and offline. Customers can also order items online and receive them in-store within 30 minutes, if they are available there.

However, many shoppers prefer to consult retail stores and see things before they buy them. People also long for personal dialogue. “We are again seeing significant sales growth in pure retail, while strong online figures are returning to normal levels during the pandemic,” says the head of MediaMarktSaturn.

Holiday retailing would not only increase store turnover, but also liven up city centers. “With a flexible and voluntary schedule, we’ve always been very good at serving customers during both peak and off-peak hours, and we could do that on Sundays as well,” says Wildberger.
