It took nearly three months to get beer back on the convenience stores' shelves.

Published on April 26, 2021

If you live in Upstate New York, you may notice a change at your local Circle K: Beer is back after a nearly three-month hiatus. And though the whole thing may not be as strange as seeing a time-traveling phone booth in the parking lot, the reasons behind this boozy snafu are still a bit of a mystery.

Proving that even one of the world's biggest convenience store chains isn't above making mistakes, on February 1, about 40 Circle K stores in New York State were forced to stop selling beer due to what the company was describing as an "administrative error," according to Syracuse.com. Initially, this licensing screw up proved to be a boon for beer fans: A sign at one store back in January showed incredibly low prices—like $10 cases and $5 six-packs on all beer with no limits per transaction—as these locations were forced to liquidate their beer supplies. But the problem took some time to resolve: And it's only recently that these Circle Ks have been able to sell beer again.

"We are excited that the administrative issues have been resolved—we will be able to begin selling product soon," Circle K spokesperson Brian Ridgeway told Syracuse.com after these stores had their licenses officially restored on April 15.

But what kind of error knocks 40 convenience stores' beer coolers out of commission? The working theory is that the problem stems from a changeover in ownership: Most of these locations were apparently purchased in 2014 and slowly converted from their old branding—Nice N Easy—to become official Circle K stores. And they're reportedly operated by a division of the larger Circle K company called CST New York LLC, which it would seem didn't have all of their paperwork in order with the New York State Liquor Authority. So a simple mistake really, but magnified when multiplied by 40.

However, regardless of the governmental and corporate inner workings that caused the stoppage to begin with, beer is finally back: So if you've already drunk through the dozen $10 30-packs of Busch Light you bought on January 31, you can now restock at the outlandish price of… uh… $18.99? That's not too bad, is it?

LA MIRADA – This city typically doesn’t let many new businesses come in and sell alcoholic beverages but the Planning Commission voted 3-0 Thursday to allow a Circle K to sell beer and wine.

The new store will go in at an existing Shell service station, 14204 Rosecrans Ave.

“We don’t often look favorably on those,” said Commissioner Steve Keithly.

In fact, the City Council during the past four years has rejected requests to sell hard liquor from a billiards parlor and beer and wine by a fast-food restaurant.

But the situation with Circle K is different, Keithly said.

“The intersection, with the exception of Mr. V’s (a restaurant), is so distressed,” he said. “It’s been troubled for a long time. Right now, it’s just a little bitty store.”

The property just wouldn’t be viable without allowing the conversion of auto service bays into a convenience store, Keithly said.

In addition, there’s already a convenience store across the street selling beer and wine.

And the sale of alcoholic beverages will be limited from 8 a.m. to midnight.

“That’s important,” Keithly said. “We trying to maintain standards. We don’t want it sold all night.”

Another factor is that even with this new store, there still are only three businesses in the area with liquor licenses, said Reuben Arceo, director of community development. That’s the allowable limit – without making special findings – under rules by the state Department of Alcohol Beverage Control, Arceo said.

Circle K will be limited to only 60 square feet for the display and storage of beer and wine.

The new store will have more than double the existing space, totaling 1,126 square feet.

Ben Donel, one of the owners, told the commissioners he and his partners intend to improve the property, which has had a service station on it since 1958.

“In a few months, this site will be very beautiful,” Donel said. “Our goal is to revitalize it.”

The other two commissioners also said they think it’s a good project.

“It’s definitely going in a good direction,” said Commissioner Mike Saenz.

Commission Chairman David De Boer agreed.

“It’s a great idea,” De Boer said. “It’s been a blighted area.”
