It’s likely residents will see at least one ballot issue for their area in November regarding liquor sales on Sundays.

Walmart wants to sell beer and wine on Sundays from 10 a.m. to midnight at five Butler County locations through separate initiatives. The locations include 1505 Main St., Hamilton; 3201 Princeton Road, Fairfield Twp.; 8288 Cincinnati-Dayton Road, West Chester Twp.; and 2900 Towne Blvd., Middletown.

While most Walmart locations do sell beer and wine, Lindsay Huddleston, spokesman for the company, said customer demand determines what the stores sell and on which days.

“We take the customer feedback and once we receive word that there is a desire (for the additional sale day), we just take the necessary step to get it done,” he said.

State law requires that companies must have an individual permit for each store to sell liquor.

Jungle Jim’s, which has an extensive wine department, is also requesting to sell alcohol on Sundays; however, only Fairfield voters will be able to decide on the issue, according to the Butler County Board of Elections. The store is located at 5440 Dixie Hwy., in Fairfield.

Indian Creek Tavern at 6206 Main St., Oxford, is also requesting to sell spirits, beer and mixed drinks from 10 a.m. to midnight Sundays.
