Good Food Store beer section growing ‘slightly bigger’

If you’ve been in the Good Food Store lately, you may have noticed the beer section has been moved around a bit. The store is adding a new, larger cooler, which will increase its beer selection slightly. For any wine drinkers out there, GFS will also be adding a bigger selection of chilled wine.

Here’s what Greg Munger, beer and wine buyer at GFS, had to say about the changes via email:

“We’re swapping out our old 12-foot cooler (that has all the 6-packs) for a 20 footer. But we are also consolidating all the beer and cider into the one large cooler. Then, we are going to use one of the end coolers (where previously we shared space between single beers/cider and cold wine) for an expanded selection of chilled wine. So overall merchandisable space for beer is increasing some, and we likely will increase our selection, but we will go about adding SKUs (stock-keeping units) slowly as we figure out how to deal with it.

And we’re very excited about a full end cooler of cold wine.”
