Work is underway on a liquor store in front of Wegmans on Amherst Street. The 15,000 sq.ft., single-story building is proceeding despite objections over the building design and site layout and a sneaky suspicion that the planned store is an end-around a State law that forbids supermarkets from selling wine.
The store will be overseen by Nicole Wegman, daughter of Wegmans CEO Danny Wegman. Nicole’s Amherst Wine Partners is also leasing the store from the supermarket chain.
Constructions is expected to wrap up this fall.
