Limited Easter trading hours are bringing extra financial burdens for businesses according to retailers. The Retail Radar survey shows almost 70 percent of retailers are concerned about the cost of living - with merchant fees also top of mind. The law says local council have the final say on when businesses are allowed to open. Retail NZ Chief Executive Carolyn Young says these restrictions are 'outdated' and don't reflect the current market. "When these laws were first established, we didn't have the internet, people weren't shopping 24/7 online any day they wanted - and families work in different ways and shopping is available in different ways."
