Sunday sales

Sabbath retail activity

Sunday sales refers to the retail sale of alcohol on Sundays, historically restricted or prohibited in many U.S. states due to blue laws rooted in religious observance.

These restrictions have loosened considerably since the late 20th century, though some states still limit Sunday alcohol purchases by time or location: The state finally legalized Sunday sales in 2011.
