Lincoln Park's big Binny's Beverage Depot is about to get even bigger.
The Chicago-based liquor store recently signed a deal to expand its 33,000-square-foot store at 1720 N. Marcey St. by leasing two adjacent buildings, according to Shanken News Daily, an e-mail news service covering the global spirits, wine and beer business.
The store is in a Ranch Triangle space formerly occupied by Sam's Wine & Spirits.
"The $3 million renovation begins in July and will expand the Lincoln Park location to 50,000 square feet, making it one of the largest beverage alcohol superstores in the world," Shanken News reports.

Annual revenue for the superstore is projected to be around $50 million.
The current Lincoln Park operation will stay open during construction, which should end in late October.
