Tesco opens its first ever Sunday store in Stornoway, despite local protests and cultural concerns.

Tesco opened its Stornoway store on Sunday for the first time, despite protests and a 2,000-person petition against it. The decision divided the deeply religious community, with some welcoming the change and others arguing it disrupts local culture. Tesco claims the move balances demand for seven-day opening while respecting local traditions, and it will create at least 30 new jobs without forcing staff to work on Sundays.
