Starbucks in Winnetka Could Begin Beer, Wine Sales This Fall

The Starbucks on Chestnut Street in downtown Winnetka is expected to begin selling beer and wine this year.

Village code has been amended to allow for the national chain to acquire a liquor license earlier this month and a board vote on the matter had been scheduled for Tuesday, the Winnetka Talk reports.

If approval of the license is granted, Starbucks could begin the sales nightly at 5 p.m. this fall or winter.

Rules enacted by Starbucks, which serves alcohol at several of their nationwide stores, include requiring those who order two or more alcoholic beverages to also make a food purchase and requiring that all beverages be consumed on the premises.
