Legally Sourced Liquor Sold Here
This establishment sells alcohol from legal and legitimate sources only.
Purchasing and reselling stolen liquor fuels organized crime, which comes at an enormous cost to our communities. We pledge to our customers and neighbours that we will never take part in an illegal black market that helps criminal organizations spread violence, exploitation and the illegal drug trade.
Just as we urge our customers to drink responsibly, we promise to source our products responsibly. Together, we can help put an end to liquor theft and resale in Edmonton.
To do our part, we’ve committed to:
- Providing training for our staff around this issue and taking all possible steps to protect their safety
- Purchasing inventory only from sources we know to be legal and legitimate
- Immediately reporting to the police any suspected effort by criminal organizations to sell to us
- Raising awareness of the societal and human costs of black-market liquor within our professional network
- Holding other liquor store/restaurant/bar owners in our network accountable for legal sourcing and reporting any instances where we suspect stolen liquor is being sold
You’re in good company.
The following stores, restaurants and bars have taken the Safe & Legal pledge.
