Ontario 7-Eleven location to serve alcohol with in-store dining

Southwestern Ontarians will soon be able to purchase alcohol at a 7-Eleven convenience store.
The company says it has received a liquor sales licence from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario to serve beer, wines and coolers at a restaurant in one of its stores in Leamington.
It says the licensed restaurant also offers food such as chicken wings, pizza and potato wedges.

There are similar licensed restaurants at multiple 7-Eleven locations in Alberta, and the business says the Ontario store is the beginning of a larger provincial expansion.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford promised during his first provincial election campaign to let corner stores sell beer and wine, and his government even passed a law to terminate a 10-year deal with The Beer Store – set to expire in 2025 – that prevents the expansion.
However, that law was never put into force.
