Saskatoon’s new private liquor stores are now one step closer to reality.
Saskatoon Co-op will operate a store in Blairmore and Sobeys will operate a store in Stonebridge.
“Both the Co-op and Sobeys are already well known retailers in Saskatoon,” Minister responsible for Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority Donna Harpauer said. “We look forward to our new partnerships with them as we expand the province’s liquor retail system into these two growing neighbourhoods.”
The store operators were selected through an open Request for Proposals (RFP) process conducted by Deloitte. Both operators will be building new stores with the Co-op expecting to open for business during winter 2013-14 and Sobeys in summer 2014.
“Retail Co-ops operate 36 liquor stores in many larger centres throughout Alberta and there are also 24 small Co-ops throughout rural Saskatchewan that act as liquor retailers in their communities,” Saskatoon Co-op Association General Manager Grant Wicks said. “We’re excited to bring that experience and reputation to the Saskatoon market.”
“Sobeys and IGA have a proud history of serving communities in Saskatchewan for more than 60 years, and although most people recognize Sobeys as a grocery retailer, we have a long history as a successful liquor retailer in Alberta,” Sobeys West Vice President of Community and Liquor Operations Brent Newman said. “We’re excited about expanding our Sobeys brand of superior selection, product knowledge and customer service to the Stonebridge area, and look forward to offering customers from Saskatoon an opportunity to discover something new.”
Saskatchewan's liquor retail system includes a mix of public and private operators. There are currently 79 public liquor stores, approximately 185 private businesses that operate as rural liquor franchises and approximately 440 private off-sale outlets located throughout the province.
