Ontario to announce plan to allow beer in corner stores

The new arrangement would end Beer Store’s quasi-monopoly in the province while allowing it to remain involved in the distribution of beer

I wrote⬇️while reading⬆️:

for beer sold in corner storss, isn’t the limit on stockroom and display spasce the primary limiter on 24s or even 12-packs sold? stocking all 3 sizes (6, 12, 24) and displaying will not be p[ossible in a corner store. sop 6-packs seems to me to be the most likley size, as well as singles. and not much of a collection, althought this could be a way for stores to differentiate, like some used to do with vhs tapes and dvds,
if the monpoly on 12s 1nd 24s is removed from the beer store Z(per 2015 agreement), i could see grovcery stores getting into these sizes, since they have the space

did not know this; would have been coslty to break the agreement with tbs:

They warned that breaking their 10-year deal with the government to allow sales in corner stores would result in litigation, and industry sources said violating the agreement could cost the province up to $1-billion in compensation. Mr. Ford retreated from a move to use legislation to wipe out the deal and any provincial liability for breaking it, and the issue went to the back of the beer fridge.

retail store guy; hopefully tbs is not involved in distribution other than to their own stores:

Mr. Bryans said he has no trouble with allowing the Beer Store to retain its distribution role. But he hopes rules will be put in place to guarantee shelf space for Ontario craft brewers and allow them to ship their products directly to local stores.
