Liquor Operations

Edina Liquor General Manager Josh Furbish will continue the City of Edina’s Town Talks with a discussion about municipal liquor operations. The event will be held online 7 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 22.

The City of Edina has operated a municipal off-sale liquor store since residents voted for such operations in 1948. Seventy-five years later, there are three Edina Liquor locations and the enterprise offers online sales with local delivery. Municipal liquor operations result in a profit of nearly $1 million annually, offsetting the cost of other Parks & Recreation operations.

During the Town Talk, Furbish will discuss milestones and achievements made in the past six years and review Edina Liquor’s 2022 operations.
