Gwinnett Sunday alcohol sales begin in May
Residents can buy packaged alcohol on Sunday in unincorporated Gwinnett County beginning in May.
The County Commission Tuesday moved up the effective date of Sunday alcohol sales and established a $500 annual fee for businesses selling both beer and wine on Sunday and a $250 fee for selling one of those items.
County voters approved Sunday alcohol sales in March. The measure was originally scheduled to take effect in June, but Gwinnett was able to speed up the effective date after establishing the new fees. The first Sunday for sales is May 6.
