Euharlee Approves Sunday Sales Referendum

THE EUHARLEE CITY COUNCIL LAST NIGHT VOTED TO PUT A REFERENDUM ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT REGARDING THE SALE OF BEER AND WINE ON SUNDAYS. JOHNNY MITCHELL, WHO OWNS JOHNNY MITCHELL’S SMOKEHOUSE, APPROACHED THE COUNCIL ABOUT SUNDAY SALES LAST MONTH. HE SAYS HE WANTS TO INCREASE SALES AS WELL AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR HIS PATRONS.

MITCHELL SAYS THAT CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN ASKING ABOUT SUNDAY SALES AND THAT HAVING SUNDAY SALES WILL KEEP BUSINESS IN EUHARLEE.

WHILE THE REFERENDUM WOULD BE FOR THE SALE OF BEER, WINE AND LIQUOR ON SUNDAYS, MITCHELL SAYS HIS LICENSE ONLY ALLOWS HIM TO SELL BEER AND WINE.

CURRENTLY, CARTERSVILLE IS THE ONLY CITY IN BARTOW COUNTY THAT ALLOWS THE SALE OF ALCOHOL ON SUNDAYS. BOTH ADAIRSVILLE AND EMERSON ALLOW ALCOHOL SALES BUT NOT ON SUNDAYS.
