The Mecklenburg County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board last week opened a new location in the 5,312-square-foot former Ruby Tuesday space in the upmarket shopping center, on Sharon Road between Morrison Boulevard and Colony Road, across from SouthPark mall. The shop carries about 1,025 distilled spirit products, according to the ABC Board.
However, Morrocroft's addition will subtract two other ABC stores from the countywide roster: The locations at 1017 Wendover Road and 6625 Carmel Road are set to shut down as a result of the new store opening. ABC spokeswoman Mary Ward said that those locations are listed for sale and do not have a firm closing date at this time.
Can't wait for the Indian Trail ABC store to open! Good thing people approved beer, wine and liquor sales in Indian Trail. It hasn't turned into the sin cesspool that the uber-religious do-gooders predicted it would if it passed, has it now?
ReplyDeleteIf this state was not so "backwards" with the ABC laws this store would actulayy be attatched to The Teeter.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Costco is pushing for privatizing Oregon's liquor. Maybe they'll take their platform state-by-state next. In Missouri one can buy vodka at WalMart.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see this in the Southpark area although I must admit I'm a bit disappointed that there aren't more religious weirdos railing on about the evils of alcohol. I like to give them all things to hate!!
