And not to mention the paperwork and pile of bullshit bureaucracy you would need to go through and get passed by the city and every piece of legislation.

xtacy777 pretty much sums up how you can approach to start a liquor store.

To chime in, last I've looked into the city of vancouver doesn't even't offer any liquor store license. To only way to get one as I'm slightly aware is to own a pre-existing business that has a liquor license (i.e a restaurant or pub) and then piggy back off that to open up and sell liquor as a liquor store.

You also need to be within zoning, your district and territory - you can't have 2 stores on the same block or within the same radius.

Even after that - I wouldn't want to imagine or think about how much money one would need to start up a liquor store

From getting the license, setting up shop, getting all the legal advice, incorporating, buying the inventory, training the staff - oh man...I should just stop
