“Not more or less, other than the fact it’s convenient for somebody that eats a hamburger to have a beer with it,” he said. “We sell alcohol, but it’s not a tremendous amount. It’s more of a convenience for our customers to be able to have what they want than a hassle to not be able to have what they want.”
“I really don’t think it’s going to help us that much, the after-hours (sales),” said Doug Pellum, owner of Zachary’s on Fifth Street North in Columbus. There’s not much going on. You need to be going home at 1 (a.m.), but we’ll stay open until 1:30 a.m. (on weekdays).”
