Moosic – The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) today welcomed local officials and the public to the grand reopening of a new Fine Wine & Good Spirits (FW&GS) at Birney Mall, 3378 Birney Ave., Moosic, Lackawanna County.

With more than 3,100 square feet of retail space, the new FW&GS features more than 1,850 wines and spirits. The store carries the popular Chairman’s Selection® products, which are hand-selected, highly rated wines available at significant discounts from nationally quoted prices.

To celebrate the grand opening, all in-store wines, spirits, and accessories were 10% off during regular business hours on Thursday, Dec. 12.

This FW&GS offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere for consumers to browse the extensive selection. The store has a “Made in Pennsylvania” section to highlight wines and spirits produced in the commonwealth. Also, this store features Pennsylvania Lottery ticket sales.

The Moosic FW&GS will be open from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Saturday. The store phone number is 570.955.5113. To find additional store locations and hours, visit FWGS.com.
