The Beer Store closing Manotick outlet this summer
The Beer Store says its location on Carling Avenue, across the street from Carlingwood Mall, will close on June 15. (Andrew Adlington/CTV News Ottawa) The Beer Store location in Manotick is closing in August, the fourth store to close in Ottawa this year. The Beer Store announced 10 stores will close across Ontario on August 24, including the store on Beaverwood Road in Manotick. 'Closing a retail store is never an easy decision - our stores and employees contribute to communities in many ways and provide easy access to empty returns throughout Ontario,' Ozzie Ahmed, vice president of Retail at the Beer Store, said in a statement. 'We are modernizing operations and focusing on what we do best, selling ice cold beer, great customer service and a world leading recycling system that gets customers their deposit money back.' The Beer Store on Bank Street near Holmwood Avenue will close on July 20. The Beer Store on Carling Avenue, across from the Carlingwood Mall, closed on June 15. The retailer closed the Beer Store on North Side Road in Bells Corners in February. The decision to close Beer Store outlets comes after Ontario expanded beer and alcohol sales to big box stores, corner stores and gas stations last year. The United Food and Commercial Workers Union told CTV News Ottawa earlier this year that the Beer Store is allowed to go down to 300 stores by the end of this year under an early implementation agreement. The Beer Store has locations on Terry Fox Drive, Ogilvie Road, Fallowfield Road, 1680 Bank Street, Baseline Road, Montreal Road, and Somerset Street West.
