All stores to close at 6 p.m. on Labor Day
The Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority (ABC) will adjust its store hours effective September 1.
Virginia ABC reviews store hours annually as part of its budget process. The decision on closing times is driven by an analysis of store sales during the last two hours of the day.
- All 399 stores will operate from noon to 6 p.m. on Sundays, a change for 14 stores
- 155 stores will close earlier, Monday through Saturday
- In addition, all ABC stores will open at their normal hours and close at 6 p.m. on Labor Day, Monday, September 4
All store hours are now either 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., or 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
These changes to retail store hours are part of the authority’s focus on efficiency opportunities while maintaining customer service as a top priority.
