The borough of Paramus (NJ) is suing American Dream mall for staying open on Sundays, in violation of Bergen County's blue laws. The lawsuit claims the mall has 120 stores that stay open and it publicly advertises those hours.
Paramus Mayor Christopher DiPiazza said the American Dream is "operating unfairly," and added, "This puts our shopping centers, our malls, our retailers at a disadvantage, an unfair disadvantage, and with that can hurt the taxpayers and the residents that I serve."
American Dream says it is located on state land, so it's not bound by blue laws, which prohibit the sale of nonessential items, like clothing and furniture.
The restrictions have been in place since the 17th century, but they do make exceptions for things like grocery and drug stores.

ReplyDeleteHaven't been to a Mall in years. Largest Mall in this area is just a little bit too close to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. If you're not mugged in the parking lot there is a high probability of your car being damaged by the locals who are in between choir practice and Bible studies. Most of the Section 8 goot boiz always seem to have fists full of EBT cards. How odd.
ReplyDeleteLearned long ago if you see a sign saying MLK Blvd, turn around.
