Ottawa Now - Beer Store closures causing a burden of empty bottles at grocery stores

September 15, 2025

Turning our attention to alcohol consumption, and where we find our booze, a jaw-dropping 86 Beer Stores across the province have been shuttered by the Ford government since the Alcohol Expansion Plan took off. Thanks to these closures, people have had to turn to other avenues or places to drop off their empties. However, not everyone wants to take them. Joining us to elaborate on the burden this has caused for Canada’s grocery stores is Sebastian Prins. He is the Director of Ontario Government Relations at the Retail Council of Canada.
