It's all of Bergen County, the town it hurts the most is Paramus, which has 3 pretty large shopping malls -- and the mayor of Paramus, admits it would be good for business to have these stores open on Sunday, there's no way the highways could handle the traffic congestion (the folks from NYC head out to Paramus to shop - -for cheaper taxes)
For a few years I worked retail, and during the holidays, we'd come into the stores on Sunday to catch up on stock, we couldn't turn on the lights and more than once the police would be waiting outside the back door when we left with a ticket for working.

There are many towns in the Bergen County area of NJ that have blue laws. Not sure if it's county wide there but it's a significant number of towns. There are VERY stiff fines for companies ignoring them. People who ran into their offices on Sunday to get something have been fined with some police forces actually patrolling parking lots of businesses to see if anyone is working.
