Home Delivery Of Alcohol Approved By Sandy Springs Council

SANDY SPRINGS, GA — The Sandy Springs City Council approved amending Chapter 6 of its ordinances on Tuesday, allowing for home delivery of alcohol by authorized package retailers and extending hours for Sunday sales. The change aligns the city with Georgia House Bill 879, signed into law by Governor Brian Kemp in August.

The change in the state law and local ordinance will permit home delivery by a packaged goods retailer of malt beverages and wine in unbroken packages to an individual for personal use. Retail package liquor stores that are also packaged goods retailers may also offer distilled spirits in intact packages if the products are sold to individuals for personal use and not for resale.

Consumption on premise permit holders that also hold a packaged retail beer and malt beverage permit can engage in-home delivery operations of wine and malt beverages under an existing on premise pour license by providing the city with a letter of intent to provide the service. Individuals purchasing home delivery must be at least 21-years-old and show legal identification.

Operating and sales hours on Sunday were extended by 30 minutes moving from 11:30 a.m. until midnight to 11 a.m. until midnight.
