Expansion opportunities The Beer Store has recently opened multiple new locations in Ontario, including Toronto, and is actively increasing its footprint. This creates opportunities to cross-sell supplier programs, point-of-sale promotions, and distribution partnerships with new stores and adjacent channels.

Deposits and returns With the launch of the Empty Return Locator and a deposit-return model, there is a clear emphasis on container recycling and customer convenience. Sales teams can pitch sustainable packaging solutions, bulk return logistics, and recycling-driven loyalty initiatives to retailers and suppliers.

Sustainability stance As environmental stewardship is a core Beer Champion value, there is potential to offer green logistics, waste reduction services, and eco-friendly packaging innovations to support their sustainability commitments and regulatory compliance.

Digital and tech The company uses Microsoft Dynamics, Azure, and other modern tech tools, indicating openness to technology-enabled sales, inventory optimization, and data-driven marketing partnerships that improve stock turns and customer targeting.

Industry consolidation The retailer has announced closure of several outlets amid expansion elsewhere, suggesting a strategic realignment. This creates opportunities to target closing-store conversions, liquidations, and service contracts for the remaining network, as well as new supplier terms to sustain growth.
