Does anyone know if it costs these establishments more to be able to open on Sundays? When this was in the works, I think I heard that bars have the option of opening on Sundays, but for a heftier price/fee/license, whatever it's called.

I think most bars won't make much money on Sundays because everyone is used to them being closed anyway. Also, since it is considered sabbath, a lot of people are getting up and going to church, not going to bars anyway. I don't see a whole ton of incentive for bars to be open Sunday until 2-3pm. I know the Bulldog in BR is open on Sunday now but I don't know the logistical hoops they had to jump through.

That being said, it makes 0 sense for stores that sell things other than alcohol to not be able to sell alcohol at those times. The store is open.. there's no good, logical reason to stop people from buying booze in the morning if that's what they so wish.
