Co-op moving into liquor retail

Sep 5, 2018 | 5:00 PM

Lake Country Co-op is getting into liquor retail although details are slim at this stage.

It has applied to the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) for a Retail Store Stand-Alone permit to sell alcohol at their Marquis Road location at 3600 Fifth Avenue East. It currently hosts a gas bar and convenience store.

paNOW asked the Co-op for more details about their plans but their director of growth and development said it was premature to discuss things publicly.

“The public notice [with SLGA] has to be posted and as of next week we’ll have more information but I don’t want to get ahead of the process,” Geoff German said.
