beer wineThe recent efforts geared towards the privatization of liquor stores in the state of Pennsylvania have led to numerous debates and the plan has raised quite a number of questions. Nevertheless, even in the heat of things, one question that cannot fail to be asked is whether the residents of Pennsylvania would be willing to close all the windows of opportunities that this venture would open. In March, the state House allowed for private sectors to partake in the wine and liquor industry, which at the moment is operated by the state.

This move would obviously create thousands of jobs, in a state where unemployment is a major issue. The state of drinking affairs would be completely renewed under the approved bill, which would allow, for the first time that wine, beer and alcohol could all be purchased from one spot. The bill regulates that the sellers would have to acquire a new license to engage in the business. They could also sell alcohol products together with the goods they were previously dealing in.

The three-in-one system is indeed a big deal since customers would previously have had to look for the three items (beer, liquor, wine) in three different stores to purchase all of them. Now with the three at one place consumers will not be inconvenienced and in fact could lead to the further growth of the private establishments. The bill also offers freedom to grocery stores to sell wine to their shoppers. Even in restaurants, wine could be sold to diners who may have enjoyed the selection. Currently it is illegal for grocery stores and restaurants to sell wine.

With all these new opportunities sprouting up, the number of jobs created would be numerous and as a result, more and more people would finally quit the ‘unemployment gig.’
