Eagle River and Oxdrift are both being identified as potential sites for a new LCBO Convenience Outlet, formerly referred to as Agency Stores.
They are two of 200 possible locations across the province the LCBO says it hopes have in place within the next year.
There are ten proposed for northwestern Ontario.
The LCBO is now accepting applications from interested businesses.
Meantime, the province also intends to allow more grocery stores to sell beer, wine and cider.
It’s eying sales in 87 stores on top of the more 350 now in place.
Other northwestern sites for outlet stores:
Location # Community Region
10065 Barwick Northern
10305 Cloud Bay Northern
10405 Eagle River Northern
10795 Hymers Northern
11225 Nolalu Northern
11335 Oxdrift Northern
11495 Red Rock Northern
11565 Rosslyn Village Northern
11845 Walford Northern
Coming soon! 87 more grocery stores and up to 200 more LCBO Convenience Outlets across Ontario. Whether driving to the cottage or running errands, consumers will now have more choice and convenience. This expansion is just the beginning. #onpoli pic.twitter.com/ZjLCPPlc1j
