No Changes to Liquor Sales in Grocery and Convenience Stores
October 8, 2024Last week, Alberta’s Minister for Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction, Dale Nally, accepted the MLA-led committee’s recommendation to keep the current liquor retail model intact. The review, which involved consultations with RCC’s grocery and convenience store members, explored expanding liquor sales into these outlets. However, strong opposition from existing operators halted any changes. RCC will now shift focus to reducing red tape, aligning with areas of clear consensus among members.
