I only question the southeast location because Emerald Park/White City will also be getting a private store. Add to this the fact that current Off-Sales (e.g. Birminghams & 4Seasons) will operate under the same retail store permit as all other liquor retailers (including private stores and government ones)... so the southeast should be well-served even without a new liquor store in Acre21.

Not saying it a liquor store in Acre21 won't happen, just that the southeast should be better served than it currently is once the liquor retailing changes are fully implemented.
I have personal knowledge that there are a lot of big drinkers in the SE
