PORTLAND, Ore. – The Oregon Liquor Control Commission reminds customers that liquor stores in Oregon have the option to open on Labor Day; Monday, September 5.
State law provides that liquor agents have the discretion to be open or closed on Sundays and holidays. Labor Day is one of the nine state holidays defined by state law.
“Liquor agents have the flexibility of choosing whether to stay open or spend the holiday with their friends and family,” said Brian Flemming, Retail Services Director. Retail liquor agents in Oregon are not state employees. They are independent small business owners who are privately contracted to sell distilled spirits.
Please call your local liquor store to determine their holiday operating hours. Phone numbers are available at the OLCC’s Web site: http://www.olcc.state.or.us/pdfs/liquor_store_list.pdf or at http://www.oregonliquorsearch.com
The nine state holidays are:
New Year’s Day
Martin Luther King Jr. Day
President’s Day
Memorial Day
Fourth of July
Labor Day
Veteran’s Day
Thanksgiving
Christmas Day
In the last two years, the OLCC has distributed more than $350 million to Oregon's General Fund, Cities, Counties, and Drug/Alcohol Abuse Programs. This money helps fund essential services such as schools, police and healthcare for Oregonians. See the distribution of dollars on OLCC's Website.
