Sunday Alcohol Sales Supporters Get Active

Retail Group Asks Customers To Sign Petition

POSTED: 6:57 am EDT July 3, 2009

The special session of the Indiana General Assembly is over, but it's not too early to think about next year.

That's the strategy of retailers who want to get rid of Indiana's ban on Sunday carryout alcohol sales.

The group, known as Hoosiers for Beverage Choices, is asking customers at more than 1,000 retail outlets across the state to sign a petition promoting Sunday carryout sales. The campaign runs through July 19.

The group formed nearly a year ago but dropped their efforts to change the law during the regular legislative session this year.

Grant Monahan, of the Indiana Retail Council, said the group is getting active again to remind consumers they're still committed to the change.

Participating retailers include Kroger, Marsh and Jewel supermarkets and several convenience store chains.
