Any company anywhere can set its hours to be closed on Sunday, or any other
day. There are plenty of business reasons to keep a store open 24/7, but
there is no compelling reason for government to set hours of operation.

I close my business on Sunday. There is nothing you can do. There is no
compelling reason for government to force me to remain open, my board of
directors has lots of reasons to make me stay open.

In the case of a market, I cannot choose to sell some products but not
others just because it is Sunday, but I can choose to lock the front door
and sell nothing.
