People visiting Costco locations in Kitchener and Guelph will be able to pick up ready-to-drink beer, wine, cider and alcoholic beverages starting Thursday.

According to the provincial government’s website, Costco Wholesale stores located at 4438 King Street East in Kitchener and 19 Elmira Road South in Guelph have received the green light from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) to begin to sell drinks.

This comes after the province expanded alcohol sales to convenience stores, grocery stores and big box stores earlier this year.

Dozens of Costco stores in Ontario have received approval to begin selling beer, cider, wine and ready-to-drink beverages starting October 31, according to the AGCO.

According to the AGCO website, the soon-to-open Brantford Costco store has also successfully applied to sell alcohol. This store is scheduled to open on November 8.
