Cheers, Winnipeg! Enjoy Your Favorite Tipples at New 7-Eleven Location!

In an exciting development for local residents, Winnipeg now boasts its very own 7-Eleven where you can grab an alcoholic beverage alongside your Slurpee! The much-anticipated grand opening of this newly licensed store took place on Monday at 3031 Ness Avenue.

The vice president and general manager of 7-Eleven Canada, Marc Goodman, expressed enthusiasm about the new venture, stating, “We’re excited to bring our innovative foodservice model to Manitoba with the launch of our first licensed restaurant in Winnipeg—home to so many passionate 7-Eleven fans.” This marks a significant milestone as it’s the first location in Manitoba to serve alcohol, following similar offerings in Alberta and Ontario.

The newly remodeled Ness Avenue 7-Eleven now features a dedicated dining area where patrons can sit back, relax, and enjoy a drink in comfort. All employees at this location have undergone certification to serve alcohol, ensuring that your experience is safe and enjoyable. The establishment received its alcohol service license on June 3, paving the way for this unique drinking experience.

For those curious about the purchasing process, all alcoholic beverages will be securely locked and accessible only by staff, reinforcing responsible service. Customers who appear to be 30 years old or younger will be required to present valid identification to confirm their age.

Alcoholic beverages are available for purchase from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and can even be ordered through Skip The Dishes from 9 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. This convenience adds an exciting layer of flexibility for those looking to unwind after a long day.

Kristi Meek, president and executive director of the Assiniboia Chamber of Commerce, remarked, “The 7-Eleven location is already a convenient spot, and now locals will have a new community destination to eat, drink, and socialize.”

So, if you’re eager to enjoy a cold beer, a glass of wine, or even a mixed drink, make a stop at the new 7-Eleven on Ness Avenue. It's the perfect place to recharge and socialize with friends while indulging in your favorite beverages! Don’t miss out on this new social hub in Winnipeg! Cheers! 🍻
