IKEA Shops Closing Earlier On Sundays In Hungary
Beginning on January 6, IKEA shops around the country are closing at 7 p.m. on Sundays, two hours earlier than the 9 p.m. closing time in 2018, the subsidiary of the Swedish furniture retailer just announced.

The new opening time will be tested for a three-month period and the final decision will be made after feedback from customers.

The shorter opening hours do not mean any dismissals, as labour will be reshuffled to otherwise busy hours, IKEA underlined.

So for now IKEA outlets will be open between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Sundays.
