The owners of Alto Mountain Grocery will have their alcohol hearing before the Baldwin City Council on Wednesday.

The convenience store was temporarily closed last week after an investigation by the Baldwin Police Department and Georgia Department of Revenue uncovered that the store had sold alcohol to a minor.
