6 Delco Grocery Stores That Could Soon Sell Wine Under New PA Law

On Wednesday, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf took what he called a "historic" step toward changing the liquor system in the state when he signed new legislation permitting grocery store wine sales.

Soon, Delaware County residents will be able to reap the benefits.

The bill, which will be in effect in 60 days, will do several things, including removing weekend and holiday restrictions and allowing grocery stores, restaurants, and hotels to sell wine.

“This law transformatively changes the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board's responsibilities such that we can now move away from decades-old prohibitionist restrictions on alcohol sales and pursue meaningful improvements to access and convenience for Pennsylvania consumers," Board Member Mike Negra said in a press release.

However, not all stores will be able to sell wine, the PCLB said.

Only stores which already sell beer using a restaurant license will be permitted to sell wine.

According to Philly.com, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board has identified six locations throughout the county that will be able to sell wine when the new law takes effect. The stores include:

• Whole Foods Market Group, Inc.; 475 Wilmington West Chester Pike, Glen Mills
• Giant Food Stores, LLC; 100 Quarry Center Drive, Havertown
• Acme Markets, Inc.; 101 Byers Drive, Glen Mills
• Acme Markets, Inc.; 1067 West Baltimore Pike, Media
• Wegmans Food Markets, Inc.; 100 Applied Bank Blvd., Glen Mills
• Fresh Grocer of Upper Darby (69 Marshall Foods LLC); 421 S. 69th St., Upper Darby
