The Beer Store is closing four Ontario locations by March 22, 2026, due to shifting consumer habits and expanded alcohol sales, raising access concerns.
The Beer Store is closing four Ontario locations in Brampton, Etobicoke, Hamilton, and London by March 22, 2026, part of over 130 closures since alcohol sales expanded to grocery and convenience stores.
The changes, driven by shifting consumer habits and the end of a prior commitment to maintain 300 stores, raise concerns about access to the province’s deposit return system, especially in smaller communities.
The Beer Store says over 90% of licensed retailers are within five kilometers of a return site and is exploring partnerships to maintain coverage, with alternative return options available via its online portal.
The company pledged to support affected employees.
