The Andalusia City Council on Tuesday approved Ordinance 2025-04, which allows the sale of alcohol on Sundays after 12 p.m.

The ordinance goes into effect immediately upon publication. That publication is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 6, which means alcohol sales will be legal on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 7.

“This is a step we have needed to take for quite some time,” Mayor Earl Johnson said. “We know there are businesses who would not locate here until or unless we addressed the Sunday sales issue, which we have now done.”

The ordinance was approved on a 4-1 vote, with Councilman Joe Nix, Councilman Jeremy Craig, Councilman Kennith Mount and Councilman Presley Boswell voting in favor of the ordinance. Councilman Terry Powell cast the lone opposing vote.
