The Beer Store to close Cambridge store

The Beer Store at 130 Cedar St. in Cambridge, Ont. on June 10, 2025.

The Beer Store has announced another series of closures across Ontario, including a Cambridge store.

The company said ten locations will shut down as of Aug. 10:

• Cambridge – 130 Cedar St.
• Mississauga – 2925 Eglinton Ave. W.
• Mississauga – 3154 Hurontario St.
• Mississauga – 65 Queen St. N.
• Oakville – 1431 Rebecca St.
• Scarborough – 2934 Finch Ave. E.
• Tottenham – 55 Queen St.
• Vaughan – 1470 Major Mackenzie Dr.
• Amherstview – 4501 Bath Rd.
• Iroquois Falls – 227 Cambridge Ave.

The Beer Store said the closures were made in response to a changing retail landscape.

“The Beer Store is modernizing operations to meet the needs of [the] marketplace – this means making the difficult decision to close some stores. We known this will be disappointing to many customers and our valued employees. We don’t make this decision lightly; it is part of our ongoing commitment to business sustainability and serving the needs of our customers.”

More than a dozen locations have closed since the start of the year, including 400 King St. West in Kitchener and 140 Main St. in Erin.

Retail experts said one factor behind The Beer Store’s decision is likely Ontario’s decision to allow alcohol sales in convenience and grocery stores.
