SHOPS in Malta's capital will soon
remain open till 10pm for one day a
week, allowing them to benefit from
the business of late-night shoppers.
e move, which is expected to be
announced soon, aims to boost retail
trade in Valletta, which has suffered
due to competition from shopping
outlets in other localities in Malta.
Valletta mayor Alfred Zammit,
speaking during a press conference
on Wednesday after Prime Minister
Robert Abela visited various shops
along Republic Street, said that
while restaurants in the capital had
seen a strong increase in business
in recent years, retail outlets still
lagged behind.
