LCBO stores and agency outlets

LCBO stores, and the shops that carry LCBO stock under an agency contract. An agency outlet is how a settlement too small for a store of its own gets one, so this counts village general stores as well as LCBOs.

What these figures carry

  • A licence to sell alcohol, not a grocery register. Ontario publishes none, and a shop that chose not to be licensed is not on this list.

Dysart et al

  • Here: Eagle Lake Country Market, Fort Irwin Marina, Harcourt General Store, LCBO, West Guilford Shopping Centre.

Minden Hills

  • Here: Carnarvon Convenience, LCBO.

Highlands East

  • Here: Cardiff Country Store, LCBO.

Algonquin Highlands

  • Here: LCBO.

Which way is better

Contested. An agency outlet is a convenience and a village without one is not failing at anything. Nothing on this page is ranked, and the bars are ordered by size rather than by merit.
