Voters in seven Oklahoma counties will vote March 3 on whether to allow liquor stores to be open on Sunday. If approved, liquor stores in the counties would join grocery and convenience stores, which won the right in 2016 to sell strong beer and wine on Sunday.
Oklahoma County Commissioner Carrie Blumert said she sponsored the proposal because it would support small, local businesses.
“When I learned that Walmart, Target, Homeland stores were selling beer and wine on Sundays, and liquor stores were not allowed to, I felt that was not very business friendly,” Blumert said.
