Small shops can open 24x7
Large shops (over 280sqm) can only open 6 hours on Sunday - any 6 hours between 10am and 6pm.
Dont know anything about a rule that says you cant open on Sunday if you open after 6 on saturday
Plenty of shops stay open late on Saturday, and still open on Sunday.
Large supermarkets usually stay open until 10pm on Saturday.
