The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is seeking a responsible, customer - focused retailer to operate an LCBO Agency Store in Melbourne, Port Franks/lpperwash and Dashwood. To qualify, the applicant must have an existing, currently operating retail business in the community and commit to operating the Agency store within established LCBO guidelines. To facilitate the sale of beverage alcohol products, the operator may be required to enter into separate commercial agreements with the LCBO and domestic beer suppliers. The successful applicant will also be required to participate in a special LOBO server -training program to ensure the responsible sale of beverage alcohol products. Since 1962, the LCBO has authorized more than 190 Agency stores to serve communities which have requested service but where the local population is too small to support a regular LCBO or beer store. These Agency stores are operated by local retailers within their existing retail business. Agency store contracts are normally awarded for a five-year term. Operating an LCBO Agency Store provides a retailer with an excellent opportunity to increase revenue and attract customers while providing local residents with beverage alcohol services. Agency stores also deliver economic benefits to the community in many cases through job creation and increased customer traffic for local merchants.
