Tomorrow Monday (22/4) comes into force “Godparents Basket” with games for children, on Wednesday “Easter Basket” with lamb, goat, bun and Easter chocolate eggs and on Thursday the festive hours.
In the “godfathers basket” will include toy candles and chocolate eggs, as well as all the toy categories that were included in Santa’s basket, such as: board games and puzzles, dolls and pretend toys, baby toys, action figures, construction toys, toy cars and remote control, electronic and sports toys, soft toys and musical toys.
The “easter basket” will be available in supermarkets from April 24 until Holy Saturday and will contain lamb, goat, bun and chocolate eggs.
The aim is to maintain the price of the arrowroot at last year’s levels, at 10 euros per kilo, showing, however, a large deviation from the neighborhood stores.
“In the regional butchers, if I get last year’s figures it sold 14 and 15, this year it will go 16 and 17. It is unfair that the breeder sells 6 and the butcher goes 16” he says about the president of the Union of Agricultural Cooperatives of Naxos, Dimitris Kapounis.
Meanwhile, consumers are doing market research ahead of the Easter season as inflation eats away at disposable income. Retail representatives point out that prices are at last year’s levels and hope that their turnover will reach 1.5 billion euros.
“We hope that the gift of private employees, the pensions that will go into the accounts of the beneficiaries, all this will stimulate the purchasing power of consumers so that the market will also collect” he said the vice president of the Athens Chamber of Commerce, Nikolaos Kougioumtzis.
Festive opening hours start on Thursday 25 April and stores will be open from 9am to 9pm, with the exception of Good Friday when they will be open from 1pm to 7pm and Holy Saturday from 9 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon.
On Sunday, April 28, the shops will operate normally.
