People in Leamington will soon be able to get beer and wine at the 7-Eleven.
The restaurant will serve the products for dine-in customers, along with fresh and prepared foods like chicken strips, potato wedges, and pizza.
"Fresh food drives our business," said Marc Goodman, Vice President and General Manager, 7-Eleven Canada. "With the addition of beer and wine, we're excited to offer our adult patrons a full-menu dining experience – not unlike the thousands of other restaurants in Ontario. We're pleased to be creating new employment opportunities and investing in local Ontario communities, like Leamington, home to 7-Eleven since 1999."
This will be the first 7-Eleven in Ontario to serve alcohol. The location was licensed through the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario like all other licensed establishments in the province.
The licensed restaurant will be completely remodeled with an enclosed dining area. All alcohol products will be secured in locked cabinets and will only be accessible by employees.
An opening date has not been announced. Once opened, beer and wine will be served between noon and 11 p.m.
