The problem. The responsible municipality of Spreitenbach reports according to “20 minutes”: There is no permission for Sunday sales.
Now the CEO of Shoppi Tivoli, Patrick Stäuble (51), talks to BLICK. “We have always been open two Sundays for the last ten years and we have never had to obtain a permit from the municipality,” he says.
Homologation for possible noise pollution

Canton of Aargau gives the green light
Sunday’s sale, which included festive performances such as a balloon artist and a small dance performance, was approved by the canton of Aargau. The permission is available to SEE. The festival also includes a special campaign in which vouchers are distributed to customers and a cake buffet is offered for children.

The festival will take place
