CLOSURE: 40 more Beer Store locations to shut down soon in Ontario

Another 40 locations of The Beer Store are set to shut down this summer amid the expanded alcohol marketplace in Ontario.

The company has announced four separate rounds of closures that will be happening in July and August.

Eleven stores are set to close on July 6, nine on July 20, and 10 each on Aug. 10 and Aug. 24.

Earlier this month, multiple stores closed on June 5.

A number of Beer Stores also shut down prior to these rounds of closures.

Last year, Ontario’s alcohol marketplace expanded greatly, allowing thousands of convenience stores, as well as additional grocery stores, to sell booze, except for spirits.

Ozzie Ahmed, vice president of retail at The Beer Store, has previously cited the changing marketplace as the reason for closures.

Here is a look at the stores that are set to shut down in the coming weeks:
