The availability of vehicle retailers to conduct business on the first day of the week represents a significant departure from traditional operating schedules. This practice allows consumers access to sales, service, and financing options outside of conventional weekday and Saturday hours. The prevalence of this operational model varies significantly by geographic location and is often governed by state and local regulations.
The extension of operating hours to include Sunday offers several potential advantages. It provides greater convenience for customers with limited weekday availability, potentially increasing sales volume for dealerships. Historically, blue laws restricted commercial activity on Sundays in many regions, but many of these laws have been repealed or modified, paving the way for expanded business hours. This adjustment caters to evolving consumer preferences and lifestyle demands.
