JANESVILLE
Janesville has ended its quota on the number of liquor stores the city can have, but city officials still have the power to deny new store applications.
The city councilâs action Monday night to end the quota on class A liquor licenses could bring a different kind of store to Janesville, however, said city Economic Development Director Gale Price.
Price said if warehouse retailers such as Binnyâs Beverage Depot or Total Wine & More were looking to expand, they might have skipped Janesville because of the quota.
These large-scale retailers offer a range of products not available elsewhere in Janesville, Price said.
