The Oak Creek Common Council last week denied an ordinance change that would have allowed alcohol sales at grocery and liquor stores to begin at 6 a.m.

The request came from Roundy's, which has sent requests to many communities, including Oak Creek, to change the time to 6 a.m. to align with a new state law passed in December.

Oak Creek aldermen said they would rather keep the current ordinance, which dictates that grocery and liquor stores cannot sell alcohol before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. Some communities, like Franklin, have done the same; others, including South Milwaukee, have changed to 6 a.m.

Roundy's operates Pick 'n Save stores at 6462 S. 27th St., 2320 W. Ryan Road and 8770 S. Howell Ave. in Oak Creek.
