Before there were shopping malls in America, Main Street was where Sears, Penny's, etc were located.

They closed at 5:30PM, 6:00PM on Saturday, Closed on Sunday.
Each Thursday, there were open until 9:00PM.

No drug store was open 24 hrs.

Very true. When I was a child (1950s) in Ohio, there were very few things open on Sunday other than churches.

And Blue Laws dictated you could buy a can of beans but not a can opener so you could eat them. Stupid laws then. Stupid laws now.
