MooPig's Dry, Moist, Liquor-by-the-Drink County Report :: "Zeeland's Vitale's Pizza"

Retrieved by Pat Darnell | July 9, 2011 | Bryan TX

Zeeland approves expansion plans for Vitale's Pizza | MLive.com

"... Said Ryan Snyder, who co-owns the pizzeria with his wife, Maria... "Business has grown since Vitale’s began serving alcohol in November 2007, one year after voters rescinded a long-standing ban on such sales within the city limits. While it has contributed to the growth, alcohol sales account for no more than 30 percent of the pizzeria’s sales, he said." Vitale's is in the Batts Plaza, 59 W. Washington Ave, in Zeeland, MI -- formerly a dry township.
In Michigan -- " ... Hudsonville voted to allow alcohol sales on November 6, 2007, ending its run as the last dry city in Michigan. Hudsonville's vote follows the precedent of voters in both Zeeland, and Allendale Charter Township, choosing to overturn their bans on alcohol sales to adults age 21 and older in recent years. ("City chooses booze to spark growth". Muskegon Chronicle (Muskegon, MI). November 7, 2007. Retrieved July 9, 2011) ...."
What does it mean a dry county where there is a ban on alcohol?
[...LISTS...]

EXCERPT  |  " ... A dry county is one whose government forbids the sale of alcoholic beverages in some form. There are hundreds of dry counties across the United States. About 18,000,000 people live in the 10% of the area of the US that is dry. (Hanson, David J, PhD. 1997 - 2007. [LINK] Dry Counties)

" ... Following the repeal of national Prohibition in 1933, a large proportion of the population continued to support prohibition. Some states chose to maintain their own prohibition and others permitted local jurisdictions (especially counties) to decide whether or not to continue prohibition within their borders. The latter is called local option. (ibid. LINK)
For instance:
" ... Of Texas' 254 counties, 74 are completely dry and many of the rest are moist. The patchwork of laws can be confusing, even to residents. In some counties, only 4 percent beer is legal. In others, beverages that are 14 percent or less alcohol are legal. In some "dry" areas, you can get a mixed drink by paying to join a "private club," and in some "wet" areas you still need a club membership to get liquor-by-the-drink, reports the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. (ibid) ... "
SUMMARY
Liquor licence to sell to aged 21 adults or over boosts sales in small Mom2Pop business in Zeeland, Michigan.
