I'm all for inquisitive questions and enterprenurial minds, but dude, you should think before you post. The market is controlled by the provincial gov't. Aside from the small independent stores that have liqour licenses, i think Liqour Barn may be one of the only private chains operating in the region. (is liqour depot here?) Anyways, you might want to look at some of the companies on the tsx that used to be (or still are) income trusts. Look at all their info/financials/strategy etc.

The gov't here buys all the liqour, then resells, to the private co's iirc. Add this all up and it doesn't look like too lucrative of a market to venture into. High capital required for inventory, low turnover,.... etc..... i could go on.
