LCBO Opens New Store in Toronto Union Station
Store at concourse level to serve more than 300,000 daily visitors and 75,000 residents
July 7, 2022, Toronto – As Downtown Toronto once again bustles with commuters and tourists, the LCBO is providing another reason to visit Union Station with the opening of a new store at the concourse level.
Located in the country’s busiest transit hub, the store will service more than 75,000 residents in the area as well as 300,000 daily commuters, tourists and event goers. It is conveniently located in the Bay concourse, within steps of the TTC, GO Transit, and VIA Rail.
“Union Station is the busiest building in the country. It is also one of the most beautiful and historically significant,” says George Soleas, President & CEO of LCBO. “We are excited to be one of the first retailers in the Bay concourse and to provide even more convenience for our customers, as they pick up the perfect choice on their way to or from downtown.”
In recent years, Union Station has changed significantly as part of the Union Station Revitalization Project, which created three new concourses with plenty of retail space. A designated National Historic Site, Union Station offers a place to admire grand architecture, dine at a wide selection of restaurants, enjoy events throughout the year, and shop at boutique and brand name retailers. The LCBO is in good company with best-in-class shops and services as neighbouring tenants.
At approximately 7,000 square feet, the store features more than 1,000 products including the best of local and international wine, beer and spirits.
The store provides the convenience Ontarians have come to expect from the LCBO. With Same-Day Pickup available, orders placed on LCBO.com (and available in store) will be ready for pickup within two hours. This is a great option for customers who want to quickly drop by during their lunch hour or their commute home. The store is conveniently open seven days a week, and LCBO’s knowledgeable employees are always ready to help customers find the perfect product.
To celebrate the grand opening on July 7, LCBO’s loyalty partner Aeroplan will be hosting a kiosk in Union Station between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. When customers make a purchase of $10 or more at the new Union Station LCBO store and scan their Aeroplan card, they will be entered into a contest for a chance to win a flight for two.*
