From Carp to Orléans, there are 188 locations that can sell alcohol starting on Sept. 5.
The Pioneer Station on Industrial Avenue is included in that list and it has already received a shipment of beer and coolers.
"I think it's good for our gas stations," said cashier Nitin Pathania. "You know I think it will increase our sales also. So yeah, we are like a little bit more excited for that."
The AGCO said most of the licences issued to date are locations that "already hold a lottery retailer, liquor sales or grocery store licence from the AGCO."
As of Aug. 26, the AGCO has approved 4,075 convenience store licences and 159 grocery store licences across the province.
Even though stock has arrived and licences have been granted, locations are not allowed to sell the alcohol until Sept. 5.
"It's not just snap your fingers on Sept. 5 there'll be beverage alcohol everywhere," said Dave Bryans, the former CEO of the Ontario Convenience Stores Association and now a consultant. "There'll be distribution issues, there'll be shortages, there'll be cooler space requirements, there'll be legislation, there'll be inspections, lots going on."
Here is the list of the new locations where you can buy alcohol starting Sept. 5:
