Alcohol in Big Box Stores

November 20, 2024

We made a promise to the people of Ontario to deliver more choice and convenience and we are delivering on that promise.

Licensed grocery and big-box grocery stores in Ontario can now sell beer, wine, cider, coolers and seltzers, including in large pack sizes.

This phased expansion and rollout ensures our transition to a new marketplace is stable and responsible.

The government will continue to meet and consult with industry partners, local beverage alcohol producers and other stakeholders and partners to work together on their role in the new marketplace.
