NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — 31 liquor stores across Virginia are now closing later Monday through Saturday, including one in Norfolk and two on the Eastern Shore.
The 143-B Granby St. store in downtown Norfolk will now be open until 9 p.m., along with the 4371 Pension St. store on Chincoteague and 7017 Lankford Highway store in Oak Hall.
They had only been open until 7 p.m. before Friday, but Virginia ABC said rising sales around that time gave them the idea to extend closing time.
“Extending the closing to 9 p.m. should provide in-store and online customers with greater convenience and time to make their product selections,” said Chief Executive Officer Travis Hill.
