Good observation! In the small town where I grew up in West Virginia in the 50s and early 60s, everything was closed EXCEPT the drug store, which opened for a few hours in the afternoon so people could get needed medicines. Perhaps that was what happened in Mayberry as well?

In small-town America in the 50's and 60's, I would think that just about every type of store would have been closed on Sunday, "the Sabbath" - especially in the South. I grew up in a northern city, and almost nothing was open on Sundays when I was a kid. I seem to recall at least one other TAGS episode where reference was made to going to a store on Sunday. Just wondering.
