NH Liquor Sales Hit New High

State liquor store sales in fiscal year 2013 hit a record high of $626 million, according to press reports.

The increase was about $23 million higher than the previous year, an increase of 4 percent, which delivered about $148 million to the general fund of the state.

The best performing stores of the 77 located in the Granite State included four locations on major interstates on I-95 and I-93 in Hooksett. The two stores in Nashua, and stores in Portsmouth and Salem, were also busy locations.

Liquor Commission Chairman Joseph Mollica stated that innovative marketing and strategic locations were some of the reasons that sales increased last fiscal year.
