After many years of discussion the Minnesota Legislature
passed a law amending the statutes to authorize the Off-Sale of Liquor, Wine
and Strong Beer on Sundays. This law
will take effect on July 1, 2017 allowing for sales to occur in liquor stores. There is a small caveat however in that the ordinances
of the city prohibited sales on Sunday.
City ordinances can be more restrictive than state law so a change was
needed to allow sales to occur. The city
council adopted the amendment to the code at the April meeting. The ordinance was published in the newspaper
so as of July 2, 2017 liquor stores in Breezy Point can be open serving the
public on that date for the first time on a Sunday. Minnesota now joins all bordering states
allowing the Off-Sale of Liquor, Wine and Strong Beer on that day of the
week.
