Following a similar move by the LCBO, The Beer Store will be reducing its hours during the COVID crisis.
It will reduce store hours from 10 am to 7 pm, Monday through Saturday, as of Thursday.
The company says stores that operate from 10 am to 6 pm are unaffected and Sunday hours remain unchanged.
The Beer Store will also suspend the return of empty containers at all retail stores across the province, until the end of the month.
Store employees may also need to restrict the number of customers they allow into stores as a social distancing measure.
