POWDER SPRINGS, Ga. (AP) — A church outside Atlanta has won a battle to stop a Walmart Supercenter from selling alcohol.

The Marietta Daily Journal reports that Cobb County commissioners on Tuesday denied a request from the Powder Springs store to have a wine and beer package license.

The vote was 4-1, with county chairman Tim Lee alone in support of the sales.

The store wanted the commission to waive its restriction of selling alcohol within 600 feet of a church.

The Rev. Bobby Wood of Pine Grove Baptist Church had said congregation members are asking commissioners not to approve the waiver for the store on Barrett Parkway.
