its quite a big shop. its never closed though, if there was a nuclear war i think we could rely on that place to be open

There are no laws restricting the trading hours of your business between Monday and Saturday inclusive.

Sunday


Small shops with a floor area of up to 280 square metres can choose their own Sunday opening hours.
Shops larger than 280 square metres can only open for a maximum number of six consecutive hours between 10am and 6pm, providing they notify the local authority and provide visual signs of their opening hours internally and externally.
There are a number of large shops exempt from Sunday trading laws, such as shops in airports and railway stations, and shops at service stations.
Other types of businesses are not affected by the limits on trading hours.
If Sunday is not a regular trading day for your business, you cant pressure staff into working on Sundays. Forcing them to work or sacking an employee for not doing so is a legal offence. Your employees may have special employment rights if theyre required to work in your shop on Sundays

It would appear that most tesco express stores are breaking the law

the law does not apply in scotland
