Better start stocking up now. The LCBO will close seven downtown stores during the G20 summit.
“This action is being taken to minimize risks to customers and staff and reduce traffic congestion in the downtown core,” the LCBO says in a notice on its website.
The stores that will closed Friday through Sunday include:
* Queens Quay, 2 Cooper Street
* First Canadian Place
* Union Station
* St. Lawrence Market, 87 Front Street West
* Loblaws Plaza, 10 Lower Jarvis Street at Queens Quay
* 415 King Street West at Spadina Avenue
* 337 Spadina Avenue, north of Dundas at Baldwin Street
Employees of the seven shuttered stores will be relocated to other LCBO locations, which will remain open during the summit.
For those Queen’s Quay residents thinking they can dodge the temporary prohibition by going to Vineyards Estate Wines across from the Harbourfront Centre, you’d better buy your vino as you head home from work Friday.
The store is will be closed Saturday and Sunday for safety reasons, said employee Daniel Chan.
“The last thing you want to do is have customers in the store if something happens. It’s purely it for safety reasons,” he said.
