On Wednesdays, after I'm done working from home, I venture up to Whitchurch-Stouffville to run…read moreerrands. Booze wasn't on the cards. However, I have been passing by this LCBO every week that I decided to stop by and check the store out.
This LCBO used to be a No Frills years ago. No Frills is now down the street, a few blocks east of here. This LCBO is spacious and easy to walk around.
Even though you couldn't tell with my mask on, I had such a huge smile on my face when I saw BEER WORLD in huge capital letters on the right side of this store when you first walk in. Sure, there were red arrows taped on the floor to guide you through the store. I just had the sign to this heavenly world as my beacon for beer delight.
It's one huge beer fridge. The selection is decent. All my favourites were there (yay, Stella!), both local and world beer varieties. All were nicely chilled, including me after I was done browsing.
I finally picked up an eight-pack of Cottage Springs vodka soda. I like them. They are refreshing on a hot day and don't contain any sugar.
Back in April, there was a lineup of customers outside the door. I didn't see anything like that at around 7 pm when I got there.
There wasn't a lineup to pay for my booze, either. The woman was friendly, although she didn't wait for my yanking out my Air Miles card for some reason. She apologized. Anyway, I collected my points, paid using my debit card, and walked out happy with pack of vodka soda.
I had a nice experience here. The parking lot does get busier by the LCBO because people want their alcohol. It's in a plaza with a Shoppers Drug Mart, so there's plenty of parking.
