The blue law at Walmart is a term that refers to existing state laws and local laws that restrict certain activities prohibiting alcohol sales Sundays.

The blue law is not Walmart's law but instead the blue law at Walmart is a law that Walmart must follow, which varies by location and can affect when Walmart can sell alcohol or other products.

The blue law at Walmart may also prohibit Walmart from selling alcohol until after a certain time on Sundays, but the laws are often relaxed and or have been repealed in many areas.

Blue laws are also known as Sunday Closing Laws and are statutes, which restrict commercial or entertainment activities on Sundays or other religious holidays.

Walmart must comply with the blue laws, which are enforced at the state levels and local levels.

And the specific restrictions with the blue laws also depend on the municipality or state, so a Walmart in one area might also have different rules than one Walmart in another area.

Prohibition of the selling of alcohol on Sundays, is a very common blue law, which often limits the hours of sale or restricts the sales of alcohol altogether.

The blue laws also apply to other stores that sell alcohol or other prohibited products.

Many states, though have also repealed or even relaxed, their blue laws over the years, although some restrictions, particularly on alcohol still remain in certain areas.
