Acme In Media Gets Approval 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.

Three stores in Delaware County have already received approval, including Acme on Baltimore Pike in Media.

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.

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.

• ACME MARKETS, 101 BYERS DR, GLEN MILLS
