Pa. liquor stores may hit the road

HARRISBURG, Pa. - February 27, 2008 Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board spokesman Nick Hays says the idea of mobile liquor stores is just one of several possibilities the agency is weighing to make wine and hard liquor more available in rural parts of the state.

Board chairman P.J. Stapleton mentioned the idea Tuesday during a Senate hearing on the agency's budget, but says it's not a priority for the agency.

Hays says the agency hasn't fully investigated the concept. He says officials would have to determine whether state law allows it and whether it's logistically feasible.

The agency oversees more than 600 liquor stores.
