Alcohol sales continue to skyrocket into the summer with more than $7.65 million spent at Frisco’s bars and restaurants in May.
In February — before Gov. Greg Abbott ended the statewide mask mandate and reopened businesses and bars — local restaurants and bars reported roughly $4.5 million in alcohol sales, putting May’s sales 70% over that mark.
May’s alcohol sales also soared above April’s $6.79 million in total drink receipts by nearly 13%.
The top 10 businesses where residents and visitors spent the most in May saw an average increase of about 26%. Toyota Stadium saw the greatest change in alcohol sales from April to May with a 302.5% increase, although it was not the highest seller in the city.
