Air travellers now have convenient access to a new liquor store at the Regina
Airport.
Located in a kiosk on the second level of the airport building, the new
Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority store offers a variety of liquors,
liqueurs, specialty beer and wines to the travelling public. The store's hours
are also well-suited to its location, with operations from 6:30 a.m. until 9
p.m., Monday to Friday, and 6:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
"We are pleased to support the Regina Airport in its efforts to continue
modernizing and enhancing customer services for its travellers," Minister
Responsible for the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority Doreen Hamilton
said. "This pilot project will determine whether Saskatchewan travellers want
an airport liquor store location, which is quite common in other provinces."
The 280 square-foot store was officially opened today, although it began
operation in December. It offers more than 200 fine wine and spirit products
to customers.
