Page "Blue law" Paragraph 27

One of the last remaining Sunday closing laws in the United States that covers selling electronics, clothing and furniture is found in Bergen County, New Jersey.

New Jersey.

Bergen County, part of the New York metropolitan area, has one of the largest concentrations of enclosed retail shopping malls of any county in the nation ; four major malls lie within the county.

Paramus in Bergen County, where three of the four major malls are located, has even more restrictive blue laws than the county itself, banning all type of work on Sundays except in grocery stores, restaurants, and other entertainment venues.

The Bergen County legislature recently wanted to abolish them, but residents who live near Garden State Plaza objected.
