Pittsburgh – The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) today celebrated the grand opening of a Fine Wine & Good Spirits (FW&GS) Premium Collection at The Waterworks, 991 Freeport Rd., Pittsburgh.
With more than 7,600 square feet of retail space, this store features more than 3,300 wines and spirits, including luxury products and Premium Collection spirits. The store also carries the popular Chairman's Selection® products, which are hand-selected, highly rated wines available at significant discounts from nationally quoted prices. Wine specialists will help customers select the perfect wine for any occasion.
To celebrate the grand opening, all in-store wines, spirits, and accessories were 10% off during regular business hours on Thursday, July 18.
This FW&GS Premium Collection offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere for consumers to browse the extensive selection. The store has a “Made in Pennsylvania" section to highlight wines and spirits produced in the commonwealth. Also, this store features Pennsylvania Lottery ticket sales.
Throughout design and construction, the PLCB was committed to developing a store that is attractive and environmentally responsible. The majority of store lighting is state-of-the-art LED or energy-efficient compact-fluorescent lighting, using a fraction of the energy of traditional lighting.
The Waterworks Fine Wine & Good Spirits Premium Collection will be open from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM Monday through Saturday and from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM Sunday. The store phone number is 412.784.5800. To find additional store locations and hours, visit FWGS.com.
The new FW&GS Premium Collection replaces an older FW&GS Premium Collection in the same shopping center.
The PLCB regulates the distribution of beverage alcohol in Pennsylvania, operates about 600 wine and spirits stores statewide, and licenses 20,000 alcohol producers, retailers, and handlers. The PLCB also works to reduce and prevent dangerous and underage drinking through partnerships with schools, community groups, and licensees. Taxes and store profits – totaling nearly $21.8 billion since the agency's inception – are returned to Pennsylvania's General Fund, which finances Pennsylvania's schools, health and human services programs, law enforcement, and public safety initiatives, among other important public services. The PLCB also provides financial support for the Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement, the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, other state agencies, and local municipalities across the state.
