The store is built at the south and of the village in the new Ausabk Springs Plaza and is ex- pected to generate about S2 rnil- lion a year in sales. Chris Layton of the 1.CBO ex- plained that the new style of store reflects a more sophisticat- ed marketplace for liquor and wine sales in the province. The store is tastefully decorated in muted greens and -burgundy reds, and has a considerable amount of genuine wood trim. There are even coolers to make a selection of beers and wines ready for the table or par- ty. There's ciao a customer ser- vice counter to handle returns, exchanges or even provide tips on what drinks to serve with cer- tain foods, or provide recipes for cocktails or dinner menus. "You'll find a lot more infor- mation in LCBO stores than you would before,' said Layton, de- scribing the focus of the provin- cially run stones as being MOM 'yenrioe oriented". Andy Brandt, chairman of the LCBO, called the Grand Bend store "a prototype of LCBO store of the future". Other Onta- rio liquor stores due to be reno- vated will be following this pat- tern which was fust used in a new store in Sarnia. Brandt also pointed out the new Grand Bend outlet will car- ry about 300 mare products than the previous small store on Main Street that suffered from a lack of space, very limited park- ing, and traffic tie-ups. The Grand Bend liquor store also prominently features " the wines of Ontario, as well as a full selection from Europe, South America, and Asia. In fact, Ontario's 25 wineries cele- brated the sale of the one mil- lionth bottle of wine in a year last week. The ribbon was cut on a new Liquor Store in Grand Bend Monday moming by LCBO chair- man Andy Brandt.

Say goodbye to the fountain in the park EXETER - A prominent feature beside the bridge in Exeter is so dis- appear forever atter council posed a motion Monday evening to have the old fountain in MacNaughton Park removed. "It was always nice when you over the hill rid SW the water," commented councillor Dave Urlin. "It hasn't worked for duet or four years," pointed out councillor Ben Hoogenboom, who also noted it has become a favourite, if not danger- ous, swf* a for skateboarders. Works superintendent Glenn Kells said the fountain no longer holds water and repairs would be expensive.
