Why do malls close early on sunday

Tried to go to a bank also but it was closed. Sunday sucks. Wish I had a business i'd have it open all day sunday to cater to everyone who gets screwed by everyone who is still keeping doors closed on sunday for some strange reason even though supposedly blue laws are mostly gone or all gone in my state. Malls are the places we go shopping and stuff.

Sunday is the only free day to go shopping for most of the students like me. We go to school on weekdays, The study on Saturday and free time on Sunday. So sunday is the best day to go shopping but since it is open until 5 pm-7 pm it is really crowded and it becomes even harder to shop on sunday so at least it should be open until 9 pm and stores should increase the payment of the ones who works on sundays.

You have time to go to church if that is your thing whether morning or night. The malls would see an added revenue and towns will see added tax revenue on sales tax revenue. It's win, win, win for all parties. I am usually working all day Monday through Saturday and Sunday day is when I get to shop. Stores should have different shifts for people to work so they stay open. I understand that some people like to speak d time with family Sundays but I think the choice should be for individual shops and not entire malls.

The weekend is a time where most people are free from work, therefore have more time to shop. As through the week most people are caught up with work, getting kids ready for school etc, so why should the mall close early on a day when people have time to spend or hang out?

It seems silly. Also, the decision for malls to close early on a Sunday, 'the day of rest' is a religious one that many Americans do not follow, so no, the mall shouldn't close early on a Sunday. No, malls should not close early on Sundays as that rule is based on an archaic custom that does not apply to many Americans today. The decision to close early is a religious one, and as many Americans do not follow those religious beliefs, there is no reason for a mall to close early on Sunday.

If a mall closes early on Sunday, that cuts out a large portion of time when people are free to shop. Most people have weekends off from work, and therefore do a much larger portion of their shopping on weekends.

I think that they should maintain normal hours on both weekend days. By using this site, you agree to our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. Google Search.

If the store management thought that there would be enough profit in staying open until 9 on Sunday they would. But, for some businesses like Best Buy, people who shop on Sunday evenings are not believed to spend enough money to justify staying open.

Plus, most catholic and protestant churchs have activities planned on Sunday nights. We used to close about an hour earlier on Sunday evenings because people were either home preparing for Monay morning work and school or doing church related activities.

The opening hours restrictions don't seem to apply to Scotland viva la 24 hour shoppiung at Tesco's , but it's still under the discretion of the local councils or the stores themselves over whether they choose to use Sunday as a day of rest or not, in the case of the stores themselves for purely monetary reasons running costs for opening the store vs.
