However, according to J. Bivainytė, already on Monday, the second day of Easter, the shops will operate as usual.
The general director of the retail chain also points out that since March 8, most of the stores where the working day has been reduced have returned to the normal rhythm of the working day.

(…) We closely monitor the situation on a daily basis and, if necessary, change the opening hours of individual stores ”, adds Ernesta Dapkienė, director of the Department of Communication and Image of the retail chain, to J. Bivainytė.
E. Dapkienė adds that the stores that operate in Vilnius and Kaunas 24 hours before the quarantine will not be renewed at night, but will be open until midnight.

According to Irina Miklienė, the chain’s head of supermarket management, most stores, which have worked less during the quarantine so far, will go back to work normal business hours and meet customers during traditional business hours.
“During the pandemic, we repeatedly changed store opening hours, taking into account the distribution of customer flows. The reduction in working hours in some stores made it possible to reschedule working hours, ensuring the necessary rest for employees ”, says I. Miklienė.
However, according to I. Miklienė, 21 Rimi shopping centers will continue to work several hours less for the time being.
“Among them, several stores in Vilnius, Kaunas, one each, in the district of Klaipėda, Šiauliai, Panevėžys, as well as in Alytus, Kaišiadorys, Utena, Ukmergė, Telšiai, Jonava, Biržai.
