Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: Shops lure on Sunday shopping

Rostock/Schwerin (dpa/mv) - Many people took advantage of the pre-Christmas shopping opportunity in Rostock and Schwerin on the first Sunday in Advent. In both cities, the shops were allowed to receive customers on a shopping Sunday. Large shopping centers such as the Schlosspark-Center in the state capital and the Kröpeliner Tor Center in Rostock, the Galeria department store and the Höffner furniture store in Bentwisch also opened their doors unscheduled in the afternoon. Tens of thousands of people also flocked to the city centers for the Christmas markets, where sometimes long queues formed at countless food stalls, fairground rides and mulled wine stands.
