Headline: Expanding beer sales in Pa. could end hometown outlets ** YOUR VIEW ** A place to be hard ** TOWN SQUARE
Whenever someone commissions a truly random poll of Pennsylvania adults on beer sales, the results are always about the same. Most people -- a clear majority -- don't want to see beer on sale in every convenience store, supermarket, big-box store and drug store like you see in some other states.
Statistically speaking, these numbers aren't at all surprising when you consider that two out of three people in surveys say they don't drink beer at all -- or at least not regularly. So, if they don't see beer for sale on every street corner, they're not unhappy.
Notwithstanding what the polls show, some legislators want to give in to pressures from supermarket and convenience store chains to change the current law that says in general terms that you can't sell beer where groceries or gasoline are sold.
Some stores are trying to get around the rules by declaring parts of their premises to be restaurants with partial walls or partitions separating the beer and restaurant area from the main store. In a growing number of cases, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board is allowing these food stores to acquire restaurant licenses with carryout privileges.
But these chain retailers want more. Much more.
In fact, it's now clear under proposed legislation in the state Senate that what these chain stores -- these big-box stores -- want is to drive mom-and-pop beer distributors and corner bars and restaurants out of business. That's the inevitable outcome of the legislation they are pushing.
We're talking about proposals to allow big-box stores to convert traditional beer sales licenses to food store licenses -- with the right to sell unlimited quantities for carryout purposes rather than the two six-pack limit that now applies to restaurants and carryouts.
Under the proposed legislation, each new food store license will become the equivalent of a full-fledged beer distributorship. Currently, with some 1,300 distributor licenses across the state, there is a case-lot outlet for every 6,000 or so Pennsylvania residents.
If you double -- or even triple -- the number of case-lot beer sales outlets, the market will be over-saturated and only the strongest will survive. And experience shows us looking at other product specialties that the big-box stores will drive the homegrown, hometown businesses into closing their doors.
They'll do it in part because they will have lower operating costs. A big-box store can maintain a beer aisle without hiring one additional staff member. Meanwhile, the local beer distributor who employs himself and two or three other workers will shut his doors and go the way of the neighborhood hardware store or bakery or dress shop.
The question is whether we as a community will be better off. I would side with the majority in all of those surveys -- some of them commissioned by legislators themselves -- who say they don't want to see beer for sale in every big-box and convenience store.
