There are plenty of bars in the
Distillery District, but until now, it's been a hike to get a bottle of booze.
Last week, the LCBO solved the irony with its latest shop opened at 222 Front Street East, between Princess and Berkley. It's not exactly in the Distillery District, but it's the closest one so far.
The store, an adaptive re-use of part of the old Toronto Sun building that fronts on King, has 8,000 square feet of selling space, with a selection of 2,200 products.
The location was picked, according to Julie Rosenberg at LCBO communications, because market research has indicated the population in the area will increase by 27 per cent over the next 10 years.
