We now have a better idea why NB Liquor is looking to to open up more agency outlets around the province with the goal being to increase sales.
NB Liquor is reporting its sales for the first quarter of 2012 and 2013 were off by 4.7 million dollars or 4.5 per cent.
Total sales amounted to 99.2 million dollars with lower earnings of 1.1 million.
The drop is being attributed to fewer people coming in to buy.
The sale of beer and hard liquor were both down….Beer by 7.4 per cent or 4.4 million dollars and liquor by 1.9 per cent or 400 thousand dollars.
Wine sales continue to increase, rising by 200 thousand dollars or 1.4 per cent.
