Virginia Lawyers Weekly

State-run liquor stores are reporting steady business on the first day they were allowed to open on Sundays.

A new law that went into effect July 1 expanded Sunday sales of alcoholic beverages to 36 state-run stores in Portsmouth, Hampton, Newport News, Richmond and Chesapeake.

Ninety-five stores in Norfolk, Virginia Beach and eight northern Virginia localities have been authorized to open from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays since 2004.

Preston Carter said he was surprised at the number of customers at the Richmond store that he manages. He said the day’s sales were similar to sales on a Monday.

Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control spokeswoman Philip Bogenberger says customer feedback so far has been positive.
