Virginia ABC Store Opens at Tacketts Mill

A new Virginia ABC store opened last week at Tacketts Mill Shopping Center on Old Bridge Road in Lake Ridge. It's the second ABC store in the Lake Ridge area, joining the one at Merchant Plaza near Panera. 

The store's grand opening is May 1 at 9:30 a.m. and the first 25 customers will get a free non-alcoholic gift. 

“We hope that this addition to our network of stores in Prince William County will provide customers with greater convenience,” said Wilson Jones, director of retail operations. “Our store staff is eager to create a shopping experience tailored to customers’ tastes. We welcome questions about store items, special requests and suggestions to ultimately build a product mix that reflects consumer demand.”

The new store employs five people and fills up 2,000 square feet.

"ABC has opened 80 stores in the last 10 years and has plans to open 20 more in the next three years," an ABC release stated. "Currently 98 percent of Virginia’s population resides within 10 minutes of an ABC store."

There are now 341 other ABC stores in Virginia. The Tacketts Mill location's hours are 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 1-6 p.m. on Sunday.
