Two publicly owned liquor stores in Saskatoon will soon shut their doors.

Two new privately run stores owned by companies from Alberta and British Columbia are expected to take their places. A third will be run by Sobeys, the company that already operates one of two private liquor stores in the city.

The Saskatoon stores are part of a large scale privatizing of Saskatchewan’s liquor industry. Plans are in place to privatize 50 liquor outlets throughout the province. Some of the new stores will replace existing government-run SLGA stores, while others will be completely new.

Saskatoon is expected to get a new Sobeys Liquor store as well as a Metro Liquor and a Liquor Mart.
