PA Expands Liquor Store Closures To All In State

PENNSYLVANIA — All of Pennsylvania's state Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores will be closed in an effort to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. The closures are effective at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, March 17.

Sales at www.FineWineAndGoodSpirits.com will cease at 5 p.m. Monday.

“This was a tremendously difficult decision to make, and we understand the disruption our store closures will have on consumers and licensees across the commonwealth,” said Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board Chairman Tim Holden. “But in these uncertain and unprecedented times, the public health crisis and mitigation effort must take priority over the sale of wine and spirits, as the health and safety of our employees and communities is paramount.”

Closures in Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery county were already announced over the weekend. Monday's decision expands those closures statewide.
