SANDY SPRINGS, Ga.,None — Starting today, residents of metro Atlanta will have a lot more places to shop for alcohol on Sundays.
The earliest stores can open up is 12:30 p.m. Sunday.
One of those stores is the New York Butcher Shoppe in Sandy Springs, which will now sell wine and other alcoholic drinks on Sundays.
The owner expects that will mean more money in the till.
"We're extremely excited. We think this is a big deal for us, because being a custom service meat market, (our) busiest days are Friday, Saturday, Sunday," said owner Robb Dillon.
