A group representing Ontario’s bar and restaurant owners says it is “grateful” that officials opted to walk back a plan to reopen some LCBO stores later this week in an effort to “safeguard” inventory for “vulnerable businesses.”
The LCBO previously indicated that it planned to reopen 32 stores provincewide on July 19. Those stores were expected to operate on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays only, with reduced hours in effect. But over the weekend, the LCBO reversed course, indicating that all locations would remain closed for the duration of the strike.
This is the second time the LCBO has scrapped plans to temporarily reopen stores. On Monday, the LCBO decided against opening five stores to allow bar and restaurant owners to buy alcohol after the Crown corporation said the union threatened to picket these locations. “Our members miss their regulars and want to get back to work. It is on Ford to end this strike, after all – he forced it to justify his rushed alcohol everywhere scheme,” the statement continued.
Ford has previously said that the province will not change course on its plan to expand the sale of RTDs.
