I happened to come across an interesting article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution written by James Salzer, who discussed the issue of packaged liquor sales on Sunday. We know our customers love purchasing alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages throughout the week, Mondays through Saturdays, at our store in Atlanta, however state laws prohibit us from being open for business on Sundays. Hey, even we need one day off.

Here’s an excerpt from that article:

The Christian Right and Gov. Sonny Perdue get credit for killing a bill to allow Sunday sales of packaged alcohol again this year, but lobbyists and lawmakers say credit also goes to a surprising opponent: a Gwinnett County liquor store owner.

For two years in a row, they say, Richard Tucker, co-owner of Suwanee’s Beverage SuperStore and chairman of the Gwinnett County Convention and Visitors Bureau, has worked behind the scenes to stop legislation that would have let voters decide whether beer, wine and liquor should be sold in stores on Sundays.
