Most of the local lumberyards rely on repeat contractor business for their bread and butter. Many consumers are going to go to the box stores anyway, because they often believe they are going to get a better deal. Because of this, the local yards gear their inventory towards the professonal contractor. If a local yard is going to lose money on Sunday, they are better off closing. Even Saturdays are usually money losers for the local yards, but they do stay open as a service to the public.
