LCBO is citing “transportation issues” and “the ongoing considerations of COVID-19” as the two main reasons for their supply chain issues. The stock of imported and popular products across categories, like champagnes and sparkling sets, New world wines (New Zealand, Australia, South America), import spirits (particularly tequila and scotch), and international beer/cider are impacted by the issue.
Nick Nanos, LCBO’s Chief Supply Chain Officer said in an email statement the organization will continue to have a great selection of international products and local beer, wine, and spirits.
“We encourage customers to shop early this year for the best selection of gifts and holiday favourites, be flexible about choice, and take the opportunity to try something new. Our knowledgeable employees are available in-store to help make alternative choices and we offer a reminder of our convenient online shopping options.”
As LCBO is encouraging customers to shop early, the rush at the stores has already increased significantly.
Some of the global supply chain issues impacting LCBO are expected to continue into next year.
