The Marietta Daily Journal – Alcohol license debate ends in bid withdrawal

MARIETTA — Some east Cobb residents are claiming victory after a business withdrew its application for an alcohol license.

Premier Wine and Spirits, 2900 Delk Road near Powers Ferry Road, would have been the fourth liquor store within 2 miles in the east Cobb neighborhood. The license was scheduled to be heard at the Cobb Board of Commissioners meeting this morning.

Neighbors cried foul after the business applied for the right to sell alcohol claiming it would have meant a high concentration of liquor stores in the area.

Other residents were more concerned about the store’s proximity to a private school, Shreiner Academy, which wasn’t mentioned in the application for alcohol sales.
