LCBO Stores Offering Extended Hours in Mississauga

If you’re hosting a party or still looking for that perfect (and always appreciated) gift, you might want to know about the LCBO’s holiday hours.

The LCBO recently announced that it plans to offer extended shopping hours in the lead-up to Christmas. Now, many LCBO stores will observe longer than usual hours (yay!), but those hours may vary by location, so you might want to call your local shop first.

But first, the shortened hours.

Basically, all LCBO stores will open at regular hours and close at 6:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve (Saturday, December 24) and on New Year’s Eve (Saturday, December 31). 

LCBO stores will be closed on Christmas Day (Sunday, December 25) and Boxing Day (Monday, December 26).  LCBO stores will re-open on Tuesday, December 27. LCBO stores will be closed New Year’s Day (Sunday, January 1) and will re-open on Monday January 2.

While LCBO agency stores must close on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, some locations may choose to operate on Boxing Day. Agency stores are locally-owned retail establishments that contract with the LCBO to sell beverage alcohol and other products in communities that are too small to support LCBO stores.

The LCBO website lists 12 locations in Mississauga and you can see their locations and hours of operation here.

The LCBO’s Square One location will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday. The Heartland Town Centre location will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday to Friday. The Queen and Britannia location in Streetsville will also be open until 10:00 p.m. during the week, along with the Erin Mills Parkway and Eglinton location.
