Two locations in Windsor of The Beer Store are officially closed, effective Sunday.

The two stores are at 790 Goyeau Street and 1780 College Avenue.

The announcement was made earlier this year that nine total locations would be closing, including the two in Windsor. The other locations in Windsor will remain open.

“The Beer Store is modernizing operations to meet the needs of marketplace – this means making the difficult decision to close some stores,” said Ozzie Ahmed, vice president of retail, when the announcement was made.

“We know 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.”
