Oxford Stores Preparing for Cold Beer

All around Oxford, local businesses are preparing for cold beer sales.
In 1972, Oxford passed an ordinance that allowed for the sale of beer in retail locations for the first time since all beer and alcohol sales were outlawed after World War II, but the beer could not be refrigerated. The ban included a prohibition on Sunday sales of all alcohol in the city limits.
On August 20, 2013, with a 6-1 vote by the Oxford Board of Alderman, the law was swept away. Beginning Thursday September 19, cold beer will be available in retail locations with added Sunday sales from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Business owners in Oxford, particularly in convenient stores, have been rearranging their stores in preparation for providing Oxford residents with their cold alcoholic beverages (see photo above).
