The Virginia Department of Alcoholic and Beverage Control's Real Estate Committee, comprised of representatives from Wholesale/Retail, Finance and Property Management, makes crucial decisions about the agency's growth based on Market Location Strategy and Rural Location Strategy. One strategy addresses new store market potential and the other service. ABC currently operates 321 stores statewide.
As a major source of revenue for Virginia, ABC has contributed over a billion dollars to the Commonwealth in the last five years.
