Pastor, Customers Upset Over Pine Hills Beauty Store Selling Beer

Some residents in Pine Hills are upset about a beauty supply superstore that started selling beer as its only non-beauty related product. There is a large beer display in the front entrance of the store that sells wigs, hair products, and make-up.

Some customers say they felt insulted by the store adding alcohol since there are already six convenience or grocery stores within a few hundred feet of the Super Beauty Outlet.

"To me they're saying that all black people want to do is drink. That's the first thing that came to my mind and I was offended," said Christine Dunchie, a customer.

The store is licensed to sell beer, but a Pine Hills pastor who saw the display believes the state should be more selective about the types of stores that are granted licenses for beer and wine sales.
