ABCs of liquor sales Towns see no profit in merging stores
Henderson County’s new county ABC board weighs options after voters made the area legally wet in May. The three town boards jointly take in about 7.6 million annually, with state taxes at 22.7 percent. Board chair Larry Waldrop says merging offers no clear advantage amid unclear county plans. Fletcher, Laurel Park, and Hendersonville operate stores as Asheville considers changes.
