currently the biggest shopping day is sunday...

Bergen County NJ still has those blue laws. Stores
are closed on Sunday. I think supermarkets selling
food are exempted. I remember back in the 60s when
Monmouth County, where I live, had the same laws.
We all went on Sunday just across the border to Ocean
County, which was open.
And the whole state must have
some law on motor vehicle dealerships because I
have never seen one open on Sunday.

Around here supermarkets were all open evenings
and on Sunday in the early 60s.
