Beer Distributors vs. Super Markets
In the past 3-4 years super markets and some convenience stores have been granted the right to sell beer by the PLCB. The PLCB has regulations that prohibit selling beer in such venues. However, the PLCB is granting licenses to these locations on a regular basis. Follow the money and the truth will be found. The beer distributors have won every lawsuit filed against these licenses.
The reason I am writing this is to clear up some common misconceptions. I want to point out the facts in this matter.
Beer Distributors are only allowed to sell beer, soda, snacks, and tobacco. The PLCB set these regulations and we follow them. We will get fined and shut down for selling milk or any other grocery related item. Knowing that, do you think it is right for super markets to sell beer? Beer is our main source of income. Beer is just another SKU for a super market.
Beer distributors are only allowed to sell cases of beer. We are inconvenient by PLCB design. My opinion is that the state should allow beer distributors to sell six packs. This would allow us to be better retailers for our customers.
Big business can affect change by powerful lobbying. Break the law long enough to make it seem like it is the norm and then change will come. Some of our politicians are easily bought. Small business doesn’t have the same affect.
Call your local Representative and Senator and tell them to support HB2203 and SB1133. These bills will allow us to sell six packs
