\u201cThe Beer Store is modernizing to meet the changing marketplace and unfortunately this means making the hard decision to close retail locations. We know this is difficult news for customers and employees,\u201d Vice President of Retail Ozzie Ahmed said in a release. <\/p>\n
\u201cAs The Beer Store modernizes, our locations will continue to provide friendly customer service and a deposit return system that gets consumers their money back.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is just the latest in a series of closure-related announcements<\/a> the retailer has made since the start of the year. Starting in March, the retailer announced in waves that it will be shutting down dozens of stores<\/a> across the province, including multiple in the GTA. <\/p>\n
