By Rosalind Russell – New alcoholic beverage options are coming sooner than expected to a grocery store near you.
The province says it has bumped up the next step in its plan to give people in Ontario – quote — ‘more choice and convenience’.
Officials say licensed grocery stores will be able to order ready-to-drink beverages and large beer pack sizes starting this Thursday (July 18) – and start selling them as soon as they arrive.
That moves up the province’s expansion timeline from the originally planned August 1st start-up.
It involves 450 grocery stores that are currently licensed to sell beer, cider or wine.
