For the first time ever some Beer Store locations will be open on the Labour Day holiday.
The Beer Store has released a list of the 63 locations that will be open for the holiday on Sept. 2, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., across Ontario.
The Beer Store says that in addition to being open on Labour Day, all 452 locations will stay open on Sept. 1 until 6 p.m.
A spokesperson told CTV News Toronto the Beer Store is staying open for the holiday after recieving feedback from the public.
The provincial government has been embroiled in a battle with the Beer Store over its plan to roll out beer and wine in corner stores.
Last week, Ont. Finance Minister Rod Phillips struck a more conciliatory tone saying he wants to meet with CEO’s of the three major breweries that own the Beer Store – Molson, Labatt and Sleeman.
The Beer Store has a signed contract with the government that runs through 2024 to be the sole retailer of 12 and 24 packs.
