Two More Doylestown Grocery Stores Can Now Sell Wine

Two more Doylestown grocery stores have been approved under new state law to sell wine.

The new law, passed in June and effective since Aug. 8, allows approved grocery stores, restaurants and hotels to sell up to four bottles of wine for takeout.

Acme in Doylestown was the first grocery store in Doylestown to be approved to sell wine for takeout. Shortly after, Giant on W. Swamp Road and Weis Markets on Old Dublin Pike were approved.

Other Bucks County stores approved include locations in Bensalem, Fairless Hills and New Hope.

The day the law went into effect, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board began accepting requests for various new licenses and permits allowed under the new legislation. As of Monday, 117 applications for expanded wine sales have been approved, Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board Director of Communications Elizabeth Brassell said.

Other measures in place due to Pennsylvania's liquor reform include removal of Sunday restrictions and state-mandated holidays at state-controlled liquor stores, among other things. Click here to read more about the new law's impacts.
