Sobeys has announced it will open its first private liquor store in Regina next spring.

The new liquor store will open in the former Silver’s Steakhouse location near the Sobeys store on Rochdale Boulevard in the city’s northwest.

The store will feature a 360-degree tasting bar and a 2,000-square-foot walk-in-cooler.

It will be Sobeys second liquor store in the province after the retailer opened one in Saskatoon earlier this month.
