Overview
- Supermarkets, hypermarkets, wholesale chains and shopping centers nationwide will shut for 24 hours on Friday, 26 September 2025.
- Established by Law 26.541, the observance applies to employees under convenio colectivo 130/75, who may decline to work or must receive double pay if they do.
- Large chains plan full closures, while neighborhood almacenes, kiosks and owner‑operated stores may open at the owners’ discretion.
- A potential shift to a Monday to create a long weekend is viewed as unlikely for 2025 and would depend on an agreement between FAECYS and employer chambers.
- The sector includes more than 1.2 million workers, and outlets detail double‑pay calculations consistent with national holiday rules.
