Liquor and cannabis stores in Victoria can expect product deliveries to resume as early as Friday.
Emilee Rempel, manager at BBuds, said this means stores haven’t seen a product shipment since Aug. 15.“Currently we only have 60 products in when usually we would have close to 300 products in, including back stock,” Rempel said. “We didn’t think it would be like this.”The B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch sent an email to cannabis and liquor stores across the province Tuesday stating product deliveries would start up again.

Chris Alaggia, manager of Liquor Express on Yates, said his shelves have started to dwindle over the week as well.
Alaggia said his email from the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch stated a similar delivery resumption process as cannabis deliveries, with backlogged orders going out first, then first-come-first-serve until regular deliveries resume.
