Weaver set to begin sunday alcohol sales

Beginning this weekend, businesses with the proper alcohol licenses in the city of Weaver can sell beer, wine and liquor on Sunday.  The Weaver City Council voted Tuesday to join Anniston as the only two municipalities in Calhoun County to expand alcohol sales to seven days a week.  Currently, only the Bearcat Express, a convenience store in downtown Weaver, sells alcohol, but that is likely to change come August First.  Another bill signed into law this year will annex two businesses on Alabama highway 21 into the city, a beverage store and restaurant.  The ordinance expanding sales to seven days a week places no time restrictions on sales.  Mayor Wayne Willis says the council could decide at a later time if they wish to place further guidelines on the law.
