Our History
On July 13, 1963, it was approved by a 2 to 1 majority to establish the ABC Store and the retail off-premises sale of beer and wine. The first ABC Store operation was housed in a temporary location on South Sterling Street, and began operation in November of 1963. The ABC Store was moved to West Fleming Drive in June of 1964.
