Will Brigg shops be taking note of what's going on in a similar Lincolnshire market town?
Horncastle launched its Sunday Shopping This Summer initiative today (July 25) with shops and eateries opening for business every Sunday through to September 5. Townsfolk and visitors are being urged to pop along and support "this great initiative."
Brigg Blog will be using social media to keep a close eye on how the scheme is progressing.
Many of our retail outlets close every Sunday, and staff are perfectly entitled to their deserved days off.
But if Sunday shopping generates considerable trade in Horncastle, perhaps our town might consider trying something along similar lines.
Much trade was lost by so-called non-essential shops during the Coronavirus lockdown periods when the Government imposed mandatory closure.
Would Sunday opening during the warmest months of the year offer an opportunity to generate extra income for those in Brigg? Or would the cost of opening exceed what's taken through the tills?
