JOPLIN, Mo. – A pandemic-era law, could become permanent.
Last week the Missouri legislature sent a bill to Governor Mike Parson’s desk that would allow for the sale of cocktails to-go.
During the pandemic, the ability to offer alcoholic drinks to go helped out club 609 in Joplin promote their business.
“People are responsible, like I said if some people want to have dinner and then take home some alcohol and have it at home, as opposed to making two stops, I think it’ll help people make that decision, and order food and drinks at the same time. I think it’ll help us and the customers,” said Club 609’s manager Steve Williams.
