6 Montgomery County Grocery Stores Now Approved To Sell Wine

Local retailers have been quick to capitalize on the new liquor reform laws recently passed in Pennsylvania.

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

Six stores in Montgomery County have already received approval, including locations in Horsham, Willow Grove and North Wales.

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. So far, according to Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board Director of Communications Elizabeth Brassell, 84 applications for expanded wine sales have been approved.

More stores will be added to the list as approvals continue.

The following Montgomery County grocery stores are among the 84 currently approved:

• 681 COMPLEX, 680 N EASTON RD, HORSHAM
• ACME MARKETS, 1640 BETHLEHEM PK, FLOURTOWN
• GIANT FOOD STORES, 1874 BETHLEHEM PK, FLOURTOWN
