Beer Store adding digital menus to drive-thrus, including one in London
Stores at 414 Wharncliffe Rd. in London and 86 Beale St. in Woodstock are among the initial locations that will have the digital menus at their drive-thrus.
“We hope customers who live close to one of these drive-thru locations can benefit from seeing more options and selection when choosing what to purchase,” Benin said.
The new screens are intended to make it easier for customers to explore the Beer Store’s inventory, the company said.
Beer Stores with drive-thrus allow consumers to remain in their vehicles and have purchased products delivered to their trunks.
In September, Queen's Park expanded alcohol sales provincewide to include licensed convenience and grocery stores. Thousands of participating locations across Ontario are permitted to sell beer, wine, cider and ready-to-drink mixed cocktails.
Several health organizations have expressed concern regarding the government's decision to make alcoholic beverages more accessible, including Southwestern Public Health. The health unit for Oxford and Elgin counties said "alcohol-related harm" is a significant public health issue in the region.
The other cities that will see updated drive-thrus include Cambridge, Waterloo, Peterborough, Huntsville and Kitchener.
