Customers in the Great Falls area of Fairfax County have a new, convenient option to purchase spirits and Virginia wines with the opening of the latest Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority (ABC) retail store. Virginia ABC officials will host a grand opening ceremony at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, April 12.
“This new store means Great Falls residents no longer have to drive to Reston or the Tysons area to purchase their spirits,” said Virginia ABC Chief Executive Officer Travis Hill. “We hope to continue to offer a high level of convenience to our customers, both here and elsewhere in the commonwealth.”
The store is located at 9843 Georgetown Pike, in the Great Falls Center. The public is invited to the ceremony, which will include brief remarks, a ribbon cutting, photos and informal store tours.
Store hours will be 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday. The store employs a store manager, assistant store manager, two lead sales associates and two sales associates. It is the 399th Virginia ABC store.
The Great Falls store measures 2,089 square feet. Store inventory will include more than 1,260 items, including 232 different brands and sizes of American whiskeys, 132 cordials, 174 vodkas and 124 tequilas.
Customers are encouraged to visit Virginia ABC’s website at

Per the Code of Virginia, ABC’s profits from in-store and online retail sales are remitted each year to the commonwealth for designated state programs and services. For fiscal year 2022, ABC contributed a total of $622.8 million ($243.6 million from retail sales) to the commonwealth.
