Oconee County Restaurants, Grocery And Convenience Stores Can Sell Alcoholic Beverages This Sunday

Restaurants, groceries and convenience stores in Oconee County currently selling beer, wine and alcoholic drinks will be free to do so on Sunday.

The Oconee County Board of Commissioners changed the county’s alcoholic beverage ordinance on Tuesday night by adding hours for sales on Sundays but did not require license holders to get new licenses.

So all the existing license holders will need to do on Sunday is ring up the sales when customers bring the beer and wine to the cash registers or fill the drink orders when customers make them.

Not so in the county’s four cities, however, where Sunday sales remain illegal.
