AMBLER, PA — Drinkers in the greater Ambler area spent more than $40 million on alcohol in 2024, according to state statistics.

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board's annual report features sale figures for individual Fine Wine and Good Spirits stores across the state.

Here's how the greater Ambler area stores stacked up compared to the rest of the state:

32. Ralphs Corner Shopping Center, 2333 Welsh Road, Lansdale, $10,937,741

Montgomery County, the third largest county in Pennsylvania, also had the third largest amount of sales, at $246,792,109. That's a 1.6 percent decrease from the year before, reflecting larger trends of economic crises, inflation, and younger generations drinking significantly less than they once did.
