Grocers push to put liquor sales on 2022 ballot July 06 2021
A majority of Oregonians support a proposal to sell liquor in grocery stores, but two previous ballot fights failed.
Oregon grocers are hoping the third time is the charm for a ballot initiative to allow for hard liquor sales in markets.
Lauren Johnson, owner of Newport Avenue Market in Bend and Oliver Lemon s markets in Sisters and Terrebonne, is one of the sponsors of two possible ballot measures. Each would loosen the grip the state s liquor store system has on the sale of most distilled spirits. Our measures allow local, independent, and chain grocers that have safely marketed and sold beer and wine for over 80 years to sell distilled spirits, Johnson said in a statement announcing the initiatives.
