Re: "The Beer Store’s secret sweetheart deal with LCBO revealed" - says The Star
Inclusion is an interesting strategy, but its like the king telling his subjects, you want to live in a castle? fine, I've lifted the ban on castles and you can all build one. Except how many craft brewers would have the resources to buy into Brewers retail. A percentage of operating costs of the hundreds of buildings, thousands of staff, pensions?? and transportation, the other business which is delivering beer to thousands of bars. A portion of the action would bankrupt most craft brewers in a year, to say nothing of the fact many would not have enough production capacity to realize the project.
Well that and who wants to invest in a business that make no money..................
