The Law

Due to deeply rooted 'Blue Laws' originally intended to enforce a day of religious rest, car dealerships across the entire state are forbidden from opening on Sundays. While most other retail blue laws have been repealed statewide, the auto industry heavily lobbied to keep this one alive so dealers could guarantee their staff one universal day off.
