Retail Trading Hours in Esperance
Esperance retail trading hours are, for the most part, consistent with hours approved by the State Government for general retail shops outside the Perth metropolitan area:
- 8.00am to 6.00pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday
- 8.00am to 9.00pm on Thursday
- 8.00am to 5.00pm on Saturday
- Closed on Sundays and Public Holidays
A permanent change to trading hours was introduced for the Shire of Esperance in 2024. Providing long-term clarity to the hours that retailers could open this benefits local businesses and shoppers.
