While most shops are closed on Easter Sunday, Oderings Garden Centres and Mitre 10 Mega stores will be opening their doors to all Hawke's Bay locals who are out and about this Easter weekend.
Oderings Garden Centre director Julian Odering said next Sunday will be "business as usual" as they continue to make the same point they've been making since first being fined in the 1990s.
"We don't see it as flouting the law, we see it as a bad law."
Mr Odering said the store originally had an exemption as a "leisure" activity until the early 1990s when the Government liberalised Easter trading hours.
Since the rules have changed Oderings have copped fines for trading on Easter every year.
