Auctions to sell permits associated with Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming (SLGA) retail stores are set to begin on Feb. 6, the province said in a news release.
Inventory continues to be cleared out as the government moves toward closure of its remaining 34 SLGA locations by the end of March.
“So they are aware of the dates that the stores will be closing moving forward. They are able to make plans,” said Lori Carr, minister of liquor and gaming.
The first store to be closed will be the SLGA liquor store on Lewvan Drive in Regina. Customers said they'll miss the location.
“I guess if we have no other choice then I guess we’ll have to switch to a different store even though we like this one,” said SLGA customer, Gler Kaw.
According to the government, the auctions will be staggered, with the final ones beginning on Feb. 15.
The province said those who are interested in bidding must pre-register and pay a deposit of $5,000 to participate in an auction.
