Licensees / Retailers
Until September March 1994, Alberta liquor distribution was handled entirely by the Alberta provincial government, through the Alberta Liquor Control Board.

On June 20, 1994 liquor distribution in Alberta was privatized. Prior to privatization, there were only 204 government owned and operated liquor stores in Alberta. Since that time, the number of licensed retail outlets in Alberta has grown to just over 1000.

The Alberta liquor industry is regulated by the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC). To buy alcohol products for resale of any kind in Alberta, you must be licensed by AGLC.

Connect Logistics Services is the sole liquor distribution agent authorized by AGLC to distribute spirits, wine, coolers, and imported beer to Licensed Buyers in Alberta. Instead of buying liquor products from independent wholesalers, liquor licensees in Alberta must order their liquor products through Connect Logistics Services.

Domestic beer is the only adult beverage product not handled by Connect Logistics Services. Licensed Buyers order domestic beer from the domestic beer distributors set up for those purposes.
