Hartford, Connecticut (March 20, 2019)— Today, the Connecticut Alcohol Retailers Exchange (CARE), announced they’ve launched a new intro video, and a campaign encouraging residents to support retailers selling beer at locations statewide and other pro-consumer initiatives.

Nearly forty states currently allow retailers with significant grocery offerings — like Target and Wal-Mart — to sell beer. Now more than ever, especially as Connecticut seeks to become more competitive economically with its neighboring states like Massachusetts and New York, state law should allow for retailers with significant grocery offerings to sell beer.

“In Connecticut, we need to adapt with changing times, and that means modernizing our state’s alcohol laws,” said Josh Hughes, founder and executive director of CARE. “Our package store and retail members want to repeal the minimum price package stores can sell wine and spirits, allow package stores to be able to grow and own more permits, allow package stores to be able to sell to markets outside of the state, and if you’re functioning as a grocery store — like Target and Wal-Mart — you should be able to buy beer there.”

Compras de cerveza en Walmart/Target?
Hartford, Connecticut (20 de marzo de 2019) — Hoy, Connecticut alcohol Retailers Exchange (CARE), anunció que han lanzado un nuevo video de introducción, y una campaña alentando a los residentes para apoyar a los minoristas de venta de cerveza en las ubicaciones en todo el estado y otros iniciativas pro-consumidor.
Casi 40 Estados actualmente permiten a los minoristas con ofertas de comestibles significativas, como Target y Wal-Mart, vender cerveza. Ahora más que nunca, especialmente como Connecticut busca ser más competitivo económicamente con sus Estados vecinos como Massachusetts y Nueva York, la ley estatal debe permitir a los minoristas con ofertas de comestibles significativas para vender cerveza.
“En Connecticut, necesitamos adaptarnos a los tiempos cambiantes, y eso significa modernizar las leyes de alcohol de nuestro estado”, dijo Josh Hughes, fundador y Director Ejecutivo de CARE. “Nuestra tienda de paquetes y socios minoristas quieren derogar las tiendas de paquetes de precios mínimos pueden vender vino y licores, permitir que las tiendas de paquetes puedan crecer y poseer más permisos, permitir que las tiendas de paquetes sean capaces de vender a los mercados fuera del estado, y si usted está funcionando como una tienda de comestibles, como Target y Wal-Mart, deberías poder comprar cerveza allí.”
