Mojito with your manicure? B.C. now let’s businesses apply for liquor licences
VANCOUVER — From book stores to barber shops, businesses across British Columbia can now ask the provincial government for permission to serve liquor.
Under new legislation that came into effect Monday, any business can now apply for a liquor licence, unless it caters primarily to minors and or is based inside a motor vehicle.
A barber shop in Vancouver’s trendy Gastown neighbourhood is among businesses planning to capitalize on the new rules.
“It’s a nice service that we would be able to offer our clients as a compliment to either a haircut or a shave,” said Jeff Campeau, a barber at Victory.
