The people of St. George will be left high and dry…literally.
NB Liquor announcing it will replace two corporate owned stores in the province with privately owned agency stores and staff members will be moved elsewhere.
NB Liquor president Daniel Allain says the corporate stores in St. George and Florenceville-Bristol are no longer efficient and each are more than 50 years old.
Liberal MLA Rick Doucet says that’s not what he thought.
He says this store was slated for renovation when he was in government so this news is a slap in the face.
Doucet says from what he understands the agency stores mean 7 jobs in St. George will be lost locally and residents will be left with about 1/8 of the selection of booze.
