Kamloops pubs and restaurants say liquor policy change could save their bottom lines
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops pubs and restaurants are applauding the provincial government for implementing a policy they’ve been pushing for a long time.
Starting August 1, all pubs and restaurants across the province will be able to purchase their liquor at wholesale prices. Currently, owners pay the same liquor prices as the general public does at a liquor store. The move by the provincial government will save pubs and restaurants up to 20 per cent on liquor costs.
Arthur Dolmat, owner of Duffy’s Pub, has been pushing for this change over the course of his 20 years in the business.
