Convenience store 7-Eleven says it has secured a liquor sales licence from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario to serve beer, wines and coolers at a restaurant in one of its stores in Leamington.
The company says the licensed restaurant also serves food such as chicken wings, potato wedges and pizza.
Ford promised during his first provincial election campaign to let corner stores sell beer and wine, and his government even passed a law to terminate a 10-year deal with The Beer Store -- set to expire in 2025 -- that prevents the expansion.
