The Beer Store is owned by three Ontario brewers: Labatt, Molson and Sleeman. While the company is private, the nature of the industry means that laws and regulations impact our business. As a result, The Beer Store maintains a close working relationship with the Government of Ontario through the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and the Ministry of Consumer and Business Services. Through these agencies, the Ontario Government regulates issues such as minimum age for purchase, hours of sale, selling price, labeling and product integrity, and approval of store locations.
