Prague People in Prague use the first weekend of open shops. IKEA department stores have been on the limit of capacity since the morning.

All four IKEA department stores operated by the company in the Czech Republic have been following the onslaught since Saturday. People can follow the current occupancy on its website. For example, the Ostrava IKEA was completely full around 11:15, the last few places remained at this time in the store in Prague in Zličín.
The shoppers also went to OC Nový Smíchov in the morning. Although the traffic was quiet, a shorter queue of people stood in front of the New Yorker store. Corridors for the regulation of the series have already been created in advance at several popular stores. Suddenly, people were also waiting in front of the Calzedonia hosiery and swimwear store. However, there can be a maximum of three customers in this store at one time.
There was more traffic in OC Letňany. Longer queues were, for example, at Sinsay or Cropp stores, which offer fashion especially for young people. In addition to clothing stores, queues at checkouts were also in shoe stores. But McDonald’s, for example, was also full.
Visitors to the centers obviously lack a lot of seating, which the centers had to remove or block from the government order. There are several seats available in OC Letňany, it was constantly occupied. People stood at the railing in large numbers so that they could at least lean while waiting for the other members of the household with whom they went shopping. Some neglected the dam and looked for any place to sit. However, a security agency worker came to warn them that this was not possible.
Although Galerie Harfa is not a traditional weekend shopping center, according to its marketing manager Martina Tlusty, many people today took the opportunity to reopen stores and go shopping. “Attendance is roughly at the same level as in recent days, when it was 60 percent higher than the week before the disintegration, which is within our expectations,” she said.
