Employees at the Tom Thumb on Hampton eagerly pointed out the place where the coolers for beer will be installed on Thursday (so they say).  They also say that the store could be selling beer and wine on Friday, depending on the permit application process.  Another trip to the grocery store may in order on Friday to see what happened.  BTW, the Shell station on Davis only sells beer, no wine.  For you fans of Chelada, it does have that.
