NEW PRIVATE LIQUOR STORES FOR SASKATOON AND REGINA

Released on November 5, 2012

The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) is adding three private liquor stores to the province's retail liquor system. The new stores - two in Saskatoon and one in Regina - will offer customers a full line of wines, spirits and beer products.

"The province's population has grown by 80,000 people during the past five years which has meant more customers at our liquor stores," Minister responsible for SLGA Donna Harpauer said. "SLGA has been doing a good job managing the increased volumes but we know that there are neighbourhoods that are still underserved. These new stores will serve customers and create new business opportunities without significant change to the province's current retail system."

The stores will be chosen through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process conducted by a third party. Proposals will be evaluated on factors including store location, retail shopping environment and overall service for customers. The RFP will be released in November with final decisions expected by early spring.

Saskatchewan's liquor retail system includes a mix of public and private operators. There are currently 79 public liquor stores, 185 private businesses that operate as rural liquor franchises, one private wine store and approximately 440 private off-sale outlets located throughout the province.
