add the preposition 'for' and the sentences will be correct, although I think the second one sounds a lot better. " The reason why the second one is preferable is that the repetition of 'shop' is spaced out. Otherwise the first is correct too .

add the preposition 'for' and the sentences will be correct, although I think the second one sounds a lot better. Therefore I'd say:

"All shops are closed on Sunday except for this fruit shop."

The reason why the second one is preferable is that the repetition of 'shop' is spaced out. Otherwise the first is correct too . . .
