>In May 2024, the Ontario government announced an agreement with Brewers Retail allowing beer, wine, cider, and ready-to-mix alcoholic beverages to be sold, before the scheduled end of the master contract, in 8,000 corner stores, grocery stores, gas stations and eventually big box chains in exchange for $225 million in compensation being paid to The Beer Store. Sales in grocery and corner stores began in September 2024. As a result, The Beer Store' s market share is expected to fall from 41% in 2024 to 15% by 2026-27. Under the agreement, The Beer Store will continue to operate at least 300 stores until the end of 2025, after which there will be no restrictions on the number of outlets that may be shut down.
