New Jersey’s massive American Dream mall sued for selling clothes on a Sunday
Any Sunday, Great American Dream Shopping Center In New Jersey, visitors allow visitors to hit a closed ski slope, to surf an artificial wave, ride on cylinder cups, or shop for a new outfit in dozens of large retail store.
One of them is a problem, defending a new case against the great entertainment and retail complex in East Rutherford – and not ThrillSeekers.
The American dream, which is the case of authorities in Paramus, is working against a district law that has long banned the sale of non -compulsory items such as clothing, tools and furniture on Sundays.
Such “Blue Laws” dates back centuries ago in New Jersey and initially dates back to religion. However, modern defenders say they offer a break full of shoppers for the weeks from traffic and noise in a region near New York.
Paramus, a large shopping center with three large shopping centers and miles of lane shopping centers, says that almost all other retail stores in the district are closed to those who shop on Sundays.
This was the plan for American Dream when it was opened in 2019, adjacent to the Metlife Stadium, played by NFL’s jets and giants. While retail stores closed on Sunday, the theme parks in the shopping center would remain open – but a report Northjersey.com in January He says that the retailers there have opened their doors for an extra day for about a year.
“These enterprises have violated the laws, although not thousands of times since January, with the incentive and support of the shopping center and the introduction of the property of the shopping center and the introduction of other defendants.”
A statement from American Dream argued that Bergen County’s blue laws are not valid for the complex because it was sitting on the state’s property.
“The case is an unfair political stunt directed by the interests of special competitors, or he says.
However, Paramus Mayor Christopher Dipiazza said that the American dream would follow the blue laws of the district after the opening of the American dream.
A decipher The 2011 public trial, at that time, shows Tony Five, the owner of the shopping center, Tony Five, Vice President of Development and Construction, and said that the laws that the laws will restrict the impact of traffic, prohibit our ability to have retail activities on Sundays ”.
Jim Tedesco, the ruler of Bergen County, called the case, said that the retailers would remain closed on Sunday before the shopping center of American Dream operators will remain closed on Sunday.
“They broke this promise,” he said. “On Sundays, the decisions of making retail processes not only violate the state charter, but also provide an unfair advantage compared to all other enterprises following the laws in Bergen County.”
The case also calls the Mayor East Rutherford and New Jersey Sports and fair authority. NJSEA and the State Chief Public Prosecutor rejected the comment for not discussing the waiting case.
New Jersey’s blue laws were initially much tighter and compelling throughout the state. Not only business operations, but also forbidden leisure activities and unnecessary travels, the fans argued that the state and the nation had a moral obligation to protect the Shabat from trade and recreation.
Although most of the New Jersey districts do not have anymore, the leaders in Bergen County have repeatedly resisted their attempts to abolish them, and some services, including grocery and pharmacies, were supported by the district voters.
