Greenhous Group is one of the UK’s largest car dealerships, with 22 locations and an annual revenue of 1.24 billion euros. [1] Starting on February 5, 2024, it will close all of its dealerships on Sunday in order to promote a work-life balance for themselves and their employees. By closing on Sundays, Greenhous says that it will be “challenging industry norms” and providing a designated day off for “personal time” to engage with families.
Motor Trade News reported the following:
• “Greenhouse Group said it will close all of its car dealerships on Sundays in a move aimed at enhancing the work-life balance of its employees.” [2]
• “Effective from 5thFebruary the Sunday closures mark a significant shift in the organization’s operational strategy. Regional Retail Director, Danny Minshall said: ‘Our employees are the backbone of our business success as we continue to grow. By reserving Sundays for them, we acknowledge their hard work and the importance of their personal time’.” [2]
• “Greenhous believe the change will bring a renewed energy to the workplace and enhance its customers’ experience, as well as challenging industry norms for employee care and satisfaction.” [2]
• “Minshall added: ‘This is more than just offering a day off; it’s a reflection of Greenhous Group’s values and its dedication to creating a positive and balanced work environment. We believe that a happy and healthy team is key to outstanding customer service’.” [2]
We’re being told that Sunday is more than just a day off. Sundays off, in Greenhouse’s opinion, are a way to “challenge industry norms” and foster “happy and healthy” lives. However, we also know that historically, in many cultures, businesses have closed on Sundays due to the incorrect association of this day with the Sabbath. As a result, Sunday closures allow employees time for worship and rest.
Regardless of whether the decision to close on Sundays is driven by the desire to create a healthier work environment, it is unquestionably clear that closing businesses on Sunday is consistent with church traditions and doctrine. The churches will be thrilled about this, since they want to see worshipers in their pews on Sunday. Soon, religious leaders will publicly demand that all establishments close on Sundays, and more and more businesses will follow suit. In the end, the government will step in and impose a Sunday work stoppage by law during the Mark of the Beast crisis.
“The dignitaries of church and State will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the Sunday. The lack of divine authority will be supplied by oppressive enactments. Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth; and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance. Liberty of conscience, which has cost so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected” (Great Controversy, p. 592).

This was common practice in the UK until 1994, it is included in the Sunday Trading Act. No shops or anything was allowed to be open so will make difference.
This is a private company choosing to close.
Gods Sabbath is the 7th day not the first day of the week. Greenhous has it all wrong.
The different crises in the climate, economy, workplace, families, and now the poor, is causing people to embrace Sunday’s off. The world has fallen for Satan’s trick. All the blessings that are attributed to the Lord’s Sabbath are being applied to Sunday.
What about true Sabbath-keepers who want to work on Sunday? They are being forced to work less.
