The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) will be auctioning off its liquor licenses in February as the stores close, offering organizations the possibility to safeguard the right to market alcohol in their facilities.
“The licences are in high demand because people see opportunity,” stated Shaun Moen, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER of 9 Mile Brewery in Saskatoon.
The Saskatchewan federal government revealed in 2022 that it would certainly be shutting all SLGA stores in the district, with strategies to place the cash somewhere else.
“Should we be investing in coolers of alcohol, or should we be investing in a highway?” stated SLGA Minister Lori Carr.
Online public auctions for the SLGA permits will be held fromFeb 6 toFeb 15. Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert presently have greater than one SLGA area in the city, implying greater than one authorization will be offered in the location. Thirty- 5 permits will be auctioned off.
