Tulsa County liquor stores didn’t have to wait long to take advantage of a voter-approved change that lets them do business on Sundays.
Liquor stores were able to open yesterday after voters approved a proposition Tuesday to allow Sunday sales.
The Oklahoma Retail Liquor Association estimates the state has been losing about three liquor stores a month since grocery and conveniences stores started selling beer and wine seven days a week.
Cleveland, Creek, Kingfisher, Muskogee, Oklahoma, Tulsa and Washington counties passed propositions allowing Sunday liquor sales Tuesday with varying levels of support, ranging from a high of 73% in Tulsa to a low of 56% in Muskogee.
