The bill says that it would allow restaurants and hotels to serve alcohol on Sundays. Does anyone see a restaurant or hotel moving out of Muscle Shoals (for example) and coming to Sheffield because of Sunday sales?

According to the bill, it would only allow Sunday sales in restaurants and hotels. This would leave the lounges, convenient stores, etc. out. If you were a restaurant owner in Muscle Shoals or Tuscumbia, would you move your business so you could sale alcohol on Sunday?

I'm not sure how many of those "lounges" have a restaurant retail liquor license and how many do not. With a restaurant retail license they have to abide by the 51-49 rule. With the existing businesses you can expect some extra revenue on Sunday, however, I don't really see any businesses relocating to Sheffield just for the Sunday sales. That is what is going to help Sheffield increase its bottom line. As I stated in my original post, I wonder if they think this solves all of their problems?

If you had to guess, how much revenue do you think these existing businesses will funnel into the bottom line of Sheffield just off of Sunday alcohol sales in a years time?

It's been a while since I've been to Sheffield, but how many major restaraunts are located there? Any Ruby Tuesdays, O'Charlie's, Appblebees?

Even though I am far from convinced that Sunday sales is the 'end-all-be-all' of Sheffield's financial woes; I am convinced it is definately a start in the correct direction.
