Convenience store beer and wine sales begin in Burlington

Today is the day when you can go to a local convenience store to pick up beer, wine, coolers and cider.

Almost 60 stores in Burlington are now licenced to sell alcohol after being vetted by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.

Across the province, more than 4,000 convenience stores have been approved for sale which is in addition to the nearly 3,000 other licensed retail outlets.

“Today’s expansion (Sept. 5) delivers on our government’s promise to give people in Ontario the same choice and convenience enjoyed by people throughout the rest of Canada,” said Premier Doug Ford. “With today’s announcement, we’re also creating new opportunities to produce and sell world-class Ontario-made beer, wine and ready-to-drink beverages in nearly 4,200 convenience stores across the province.”

Ford’s goal, ultimately, is to allow the sale of alcohol in every convenience, grocery and big-box store in Ontario by the end of this year if they choose to take part in the program.
