Brisbane shopaholics will be able to get their fix 24 hours a day during the Commonwealth Games next year.

A declaration by the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission means stores in the Brisbane CBD - in the 4000 postcode - will be allowed to open non-stop from April 3 to 17.

The application, brought by the National Retail Association, was made possible as a result of trading hours legislation that came into effect in September, allowing unrestricted trading for declared special events.

Unlimited trading was already in place in Queensland for independent stores, bakeries, butchers, chemists, service stations and restaurants.
