Weather conditions have delayed the opening of Bethel’s liquor store.
Fog prevented Walter Pickett, AC general manager, from landing in Bethel Monday morning to give AC Quickstop its final compliance check before it opens what would be Bethel’s first liquor store in more than 40 years.
Pickett plans to return to Bethel later Monday and hopes to open the store Tuesday at 11 a.m.
Meanwhile, Pickett says electricians are finishing wiring the store’s surveillance cameras—three on the exterior and two inside. The cameras are a temporary analog system that the store will replace with high resolution, fish eye, digital cameras later this month.
Otherwise, Pickett says the store is ready to go— fully stocked with wine, beer, and spirits, just waiting for the doors to open.
