This place is a bit of a mess operationally, but it also has a ton of potential. The layout is confusing and congested, with products seemingly placed wherever they fit rather than in a way that makes sense. There's also a huge open area that looks like it was intended to be a deli, but it was closed when I visited, with just a few cheeses sitting in the display cases. The whole setup felt awkward and unfinished.
That being said, I have to give them credit where it's due: their alcohol selection is actually impressive. They carry some higher-end and harder-to-find bottles that other liquor stores in the area simply don't have. I was even able to find a rare rum here that I haven't been able to find anywhere else locally.
The frustrating part is that the bones are here for this to be a really great store. They have the space, the inventory and some genuinely good products. It just desperately needs someone with strong retail and operational experience to reorganize the store, improve the layout and presentation, and make better use of the space. With the right person running the operation, I could see this becoming one of the better liquor stores in the area. read more
