Deputy Nilov commented on the idea of ​​limiting the work of grocery hypermarkets on weekends

“I think that the work of hypermarkets can be left untouched.

But we need to give our producers the opportunity to trade in a convenient place without any bureaucracy and unnecessary procedures, and even better for free.

Then people who are customers and consumers themselves will prefer markets to hypermarkets.

Therefore, I do not see the need to close hypermarkets in order to artificially send people to the markets.

But if you give people the opportunity to trade, give them the opportunity to have regular customers, and consumers will know that these are fresh farm products grown by caring hands, people will buy all this themselves,” Nilov believes.

The deputy is sure that it is not necessary to impose restrictions on hypermarkets, also because this may create inconvenience for people who need goods of a different category.

“People may not need food, but they need, for example, household chemicals.

They won’t go to the food market for the powder, and at that moment the hypermarket may be closed, ”the RT interlocutor added.

Earlier, State Duma Deputy Oleg Matveychev proposed limiting the work of grocery hypermarkets on a day off - on Sunday - to create an incentive for the development of farmers' markets.
