Malloy Signs Bill Allowing Sunday Liquor Sales; Effective Immediately

With Governor Malloy's signature now on a bill that that allows retail alcohol sales on Sundays and some holidays, Connecticut no longer remains one of only two states that bans beer, wine and liquor sales on Sunday.  Indiana, alone, now has that distinction.  Under the new law, Sunday sales will be allowed only from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at package stores. Supermarkets, which already sell beer, will be able to sell beer on Sundays as well.  Besides sales on Sundays, the new law also allows alcohol sales on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day, and Mondays following any Independence Day, Christmas or New Year's Day that fall on a Sunday.

What does this mean for local businesses?  We posed this question to several local retailers and will update with their responses.

No. 109 Cheese & Wine: Owner Monica Brown remarked, "Happy to finally be able to sell wine on Sundays to our customers. We will be open 10 am to 4pm every Sunday, beginning May 20th."
