Long Description:
First Legal Liquor Store
On August 6, 1966, the first legal liquor store in
Mississippi following prohibition opened here. The "Jigger
& Jug," owned by the Azar brothers, was a prototypical
self-serve package liquor store. Mississippi, which had
banned the manufacturing and sale of alcohol in 1907, was the last
state to end prohibition. ~ text of marker
