Booze-buying commuters will have to change their shopping habits as of Nov. 25, when the hugely popular Union Station
LCBO moves to the underground portion of the
Royal Bank Plaza, one of the first signs of the coming
massive renovation at the station.
The new store will be bigger, offering about 2,700 square feet of shopping space, as opposed to the old one's 1,800.
"It's a good location, because it's very close to the subway," says LCBO spokesman Chris Layton. "Something like 195,000 people pass by each week."
The old store, which Layton says has been around and mostly unchanged since the 1970s, will close for good at the end of the business day on Nov 24.
