Hotels...
offer the best packaged beer sales system

The B.C. Hotels’ Association has
proposed to the provincial government
that hotels be afforded the opportunity
to provide consumers with increased
packaged wine and beer services.

Hotels are already experienced in
providing off-premise service to
consumers.

Increased packaged beer and wine
sale services would simply be an
extension of existing hote! services.
Hotels would offer refrigerated products
from attractive ‘store front’ operations
at regular (liquor store) prices

and accept empties.

Government liquor stores would then be
able to provide a more specialized wine
and spirits service to consumers, with
beer being sold primarily in hotels.
Liquor store parking and storage
problems would be greatly reduced
under the proposed system, with better
utilization of liquor store space.

A similar system has proved extremely
successful in Manitoba.

This is a system which can be even
more effective in British Columbia.
Grocery stores and supermarkets are
not where alcoholic products should be
sold.
