Retailers in unincorporated areas of Suwanee and Gwinnett County will be able to sell packaged alcohol on Sunday, May 6, and Sundays thereafter. The Gwinnett commissioners Tuesday amended the county's alcohol-sales ordinance to move up the effective date.
Gwinnett residents approved Sunday sales in a referendum in March. Originally, June 1 was the effective start date.
