The first wave of the LCBO's Express Stores will set up in the province before the end of 2014.
TORONTO -- In a move designed to help the LCBO meet consumer demand for convenience -- the provincial liquor board announced Monday that its Express stores are coming to Grocery Stores in Ontario.
The LCBO says the move makes it more convenient for people to buy local food and alcohol in one stop. Located inside large grocery retailers, the smaller-format stores will carry a range of the LCBO's best-selling beer, wine and spirits, including Ontario craft beer and VQA approved wine.
The LCBO issued a Request for Proposals on Monday for up to seven Express stores and will be accepting proposals for those locations until May 9th. The RFP is open to stores to apply province wide.
Retailers interested in responding to proposals must be able to accommodate at least 2-thousand square feet of retail space for the LCBO within their existing store.
Last year, the total estimated value of Ontario’s beverage alcohol market was $10 billion-dollars.
The first LCBO Express stores are set to open by the end of 2014.
