Company says the Leamington store is the beginning of a wider provincial expansion
TORONTO — Southwestern Ontario will soon see beer and wine in a corner store -- though not exactly the way Premier Doug Ford envisioned in his 2018 campaign promise.
The company says the licensed restaurant also serves food such as chicken wings, potato wedges and pizza. Ford promised during his first provincial election campaign to let corner stores sell beer and wine, and his government even passed a law to terminate a 10-year deal with The Beer Store -- set to expire in 2025 -- that prevents the expansion.
