Liquor Law Insanity
Wegmans is coming to town and will be open in September. The company is working on getting a liquor license for its new facility so that it can sell wine and beer. Here’s the story. The company has already obtained licenses for 6 of its 11 Pennsylvania stores.
I hope they are successful - it would bring a much needed dose of the free market into the liquor laws of this state. The laws of this state regarding liquor are crazy. I grew up around Wegmans, as I am from the Rochester, NY area. They are all over the place up there and are great supermarkets. I thought nothing of it as a kid seeing wine and beer stocked on the shelves at Wegmans.
I hope this has a wider effect on the liquor law - mostly getting rid of the ridiculous idea that only the government knows how best to sell alcohol.
