The Ontario government is set to announce it is fulfilling its five-year-old promise to allow the sale of beer in corner stores.
A government source told The Globe and Mail that next week, Premier Doug Ford’s government will unveil a plan to expand the places where alcohol is sold, including beer in corner stores.
The province will also formally announce its intention for the future of its deal with the Beer Store, signed by the previous Liberal government in 2015.
The new plan will allow for the privately-owned Beer Store to remain involved in the distribution of beer, as it is now for restaurants, bars and grocery stores, as well as for its own retail locations.
