Petal owner not nuts about the possibility of Sunday liquor sales
SUMMARY: A request to sell distilled spirits on Sundays between 1 and 6 p.m. has been made, with potential economic benefits estimated at $12-18 million annually. Cynthia Holland, owner of The Wine Cellar in Petal, does not see the need for this change and believes it would strain her employees. Some argue that allowing sales on Sundays is unnecessary, while others see it as an opportunity for economic growth. There is a suggestion for an election to determine public opinion on this matter, with a majority vote needed for any changes to take place.
