Troup Grocery Prepares for Alcohol Sales

TROUP — It’s been a little more than a month since Troup became the second city voted wet in Smith County. KETK reports that the Brookshire’s there is now clearing shelves and making space for its first beer and wine shipments. They’re due to arrive sometime this week — just in time to kick off the Fourth of July weekend. So far, Brookshire’s is the only place in the city that’s applied for a liquor license and has been approved to sell alcohol at its store for off-premise consumption.
