Friends, We Need Your Support – Please Sign This Petition 🙏

Maryland is considering allowing beer & wine sales in grocery stores, a move that could seriously hurt small, family-owned liquor stores like ours that have been serving local communities for decades.

We’re fighting to protect local jobs, neighborhood businesses, and fair competition, but we can’t do it alone.

👉 Please take 10 seconds to sign the petition and oppose this bill.

Your support means a lot, not just to me, but to hundreds of small business owners across Maryland.

Thank you all for standing with small businesses. Every signature counts! 🙏❤️
