BOOZE: New state store

Kennett Square's new liquor store will have its grand opening at 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 5. It's located in the Shoppes at Longwood Village, 851 East Baltimore Pike, in the part of the shopping center where Staples was (it pains me to say) formerly located. According to the state Liquor Control Board, there will be "light refreshments and complimentary tastings throughout the day."
