Today, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board announced a phased closure in coming days of Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores and licensee service centers in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties to help slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
All 88 stores in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties normally open on Sundays will be open regular hours tomorrow, Sunday.
On Monday, some will open at their normal opening times, and all will close at 9 p.m.
Effective Tuesday, all stores and licensee service centers in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties will close and remain closed until further notice.
At this time the PLCB plans to continue to operate its e-commerce fulfillment center, and Pennsylvania residents can shop for wine and spirits at www.FineWineAndGoodSpirits.com, having purchases shipped directly to their homes.
Earlier this week, Fine Wine & Good Spirits indefinitely suspended all product tastings, bottle signings, educational seminars and other group events at all 598 stores across Pennsylvania and began limiting public access to its office facilities.
Toward the end of the month, the PLCB will re-evaluate its operations, guided by the strategy developed by the Governor’s Office and the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
The PLCB operates 31 Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores in Bucks County, 21 in Chester County, 19 in Delaware County, and 36 in Montgomery County. The PLCB also operates one licensee service center in each of those counties.
