Sunday Blue Laws Target Local Stores In County Action
Merchants blame unfair competition as Delaware County enforces the Sunday trading rules under the Blue Laws. The code, effective 1973, makes Sunday retail work or sales a summary offense with fines for first and subsequent offenses. Recent cases include fines to Pantry Pride and Fernwood Market in Upper Darby for illegal Sunday sales, while Clifton Heights charges were dismissed for improper evidence.
