Take Our Poll: Should We be able to Vote on Sunday Sales?

If you live near , you live about 15 minutes or less from Sunday alcohol sales. Villa Rica voters passed the measure last week and some stores will begin selling alcohol this Sunday.

Located right off Interstate 20 at exit 26, the Chevron Food Mart will be one of the stores selling beer for the first time on Sunday, from 12:30 to 11:30 p.m.

"Customers are excited about it," Henry Patel said, a cashier at the store.

The store, located at 701 Edge Rd. in Villa Rica, has put up a make-shift sign on the front door announcing their new Sunday sales product, beer. The Budweiser representative has also provided them some professional signs to display.

Another store immediately jumping on the booze bandwagon will be the Carroll Road Shoppette, located at 205 South Carroll Rd.

"We can't wait," Becky Reeser said, a cashier at the store. "We're really excited. Our customers have been waiting for a while. People have already been calling us to ask if we'll be open."

She said the store expects a lot of shoppers from Carrollton but she doesn't know yet how many might be coming from the Douglasville area.

Also on board are the Texaco Food Mart, located at 736 Carrollton Villa Rica Highway, and the CVS Pharmacy, located at 736 Bankhead Rd., although CVS personnel said are they not positive the computer system will be overhauled in time to allow Sunday sales.
