2017 Annual Report • Liquor Operations • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br />11 | Page <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />July 1, 2017 marked a change in the <br />sale of alcohol on Sundays in the <br />state of Minnesota. The State <br />Legislature voted to allow sales of <br />strong beer, spirits and wine on <br />Sundays. After many years of <br />debate the law was passed and on <br />Sunday July 2, 2017 we opened for <br />business. <br />Our sales on Sunday are typically <br />what the decrease of sales has been <br />on Saturdays. The new law created <br />convenience for our customers <br />however it did not create new <br />consumers and has resulted in <br />spreading business over seven days <br />verses six. <br />We are noticing more customers <br />shopping on Sundays but not <br />necessarily an increase of sales. In <br />other words we see customers <br />making their weekly purchases on <br />Sunday whereas they would have <br />made those purchases Friday or <br />Saturday before the law changed. <br />The sense of urgency to purchase <br />alcohol has been reduced. We are <br />open tomorrow, but then again, we <br />are always open tomorrow! <br /> <br />V. Sunday Sales
