No Liquor For You!! Well....Not Just yet!!


A few posts back I had written about the PA. state liquor store I had painted. Although the job has been completed for some time, it is a lengthy process to get the store up and running. This one one of the larger stores due to its expanded wine selection. In order to open the doors for business the entire store obviously needs its inventory, duh. Well as it turns out there is a truckers strike of some kind going on in Pennsylvania. I honestly do not know the specifics, but I have heard it is dispute with independent truckers and the rising fuel costs. The trucks that deliver the precious booze is apparently delivered by you guessed it... Independent truckers. I was able to enter to store to snap some photos for this blog. Well I didn't tell the store manager it was for my blog, I told him it was for my company web site. The store may look filled and ready to go, but because of the truckers strike there very limited wine supplies and the store room is practically empty. FYI This problem with the trucks will probably affect all of the stores state wide. So eventually there may be no Wild Turkey in Lock Haven,no Boone Farms in Philly, no Bombay Sapphire in Carlisle,no Bushmills in Wilkes-Barre, or possibly no Seagrams Wine Coolers in the Burgh. Lets all say a prayer that this truckers thing is put to rest, because a little sips of Jamesons usually puts me to rest.
