Liquor Store Seeks To Modernize Massachusetts Alcohol Laws
A liquor store with a newly opened Danvers location is launching a campaign to update Massachusetts liquor sale laws.

BOSTON, MA – If you take issue with any of Massachusetts' laws regarding alcohol sales, there's some good news. Total Wine & More, whose latest location opened in Danvers in April, is starting a campaign to support the modernization of alcohol sales in Massachusetts.
The "Consumer First" initiative seeks to provide information and advocacy to update regulations of alcohol sales, according to a statement from Total Wine. The reforms would focus on retailer coupon and customer loyalty programs, and regulations on bulk wholesale discounts.
The Mass Consumers First Website notes that the ban on Sunday liquor sales is another restriction that would be targeted.
