The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) today welcomed local officials and the public to the grand opening of a new Fine Wine & Good Spirits store at Heritage Square, 9613 Lincoln Highway, Suite 105, Bedford.

With nearly 4,800 square feet of space, this new store in a popular retail area features more than 2,200 wines and spirits. The store also carries the popular Chairman's Selection® and Chairman's Advantage® products, which are hand-selected, highly rated wines available for less than nationally quoted prices.

The Fine Wine & Good Spirits store offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere for consumers to browse the extensive selection. The focal point of the store is the center table, where customers can find the staff to answer questions or provide recommendations. The center table provides counters for highlighting promotional items and educational materials for customers such as:

• Answers to frequently asked questions about wine and spirits
• A vintage chart
• A food pairing outline
• A party planning guide
• A calorie chart
• Tips for responsible hosting and consumption

The store has a "Made in Pennsylvania" section to highlight wines and spirits produced in the commonwealth. Also, this store features Pennsylvania Lottery ticket sales.

Throughout design and construction, the PLCB was committed to developing a store that is attractive and environmentally responsible. The majority of store lighting is state-of-the-art LED or energy-efficient compact fluorescent lighting, using a fraction of the energy of traditional lighting.

The Bedford Fine Wine & Good Spirits store will be open from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Saturday and from 11:00 AM to 7 PM on Sunday. The store phone number is 814-624-0255. To find additional store locations and hours, visit www.FineWineAndGoodSpirits.com.

The Fine Wine & Good Spirits store at 409 E. Pitt St., Bedford, is now closed.

The PLCB regulates the distribution of beverage alcohol in Pennsylvania, operates more than 600 wine and spirits stores statewide, and licenses 20,000 alcohol producers, retailers, and handlers. The PLCB also works to reduce and prevent dangerous and underage drinking through partnerships with schools, community groups, and licensees. Taxes and store profits – totaling $15.1 billion since the agency's inception – are returned to Pennsylvania's General Fund, which finances Pennsylvania's schools, health and human services programs, law enforcement, and public safety initiatives, among other important public services. The PLCB also provides financial support for the Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement, the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, other state agencies, and local municipalities across the state.
