Original: A Supermarket Opened a Pub to Get Around Liquor Laws. Now It Needs Bouncers. https://www.wsj.com/world/a-supermarket-ope
A supermarket has opened an on-site pub as a workaround for strict liquor licensing laws, allowing customers to buy alcohol for consumption on the premises. The scheme has proven so popular that the store now has to hire bouncers to manage crowds. The story is drawing attention for its creative, if unintended, solution to restrictive alcohol regulations.
Why now: The unusual legal workaround and its chaotic consequences make for a striking retail story.
