MN Municipal Liquor Stores Record 25th Consecutive Record Year
ST. PAUL -- Minnesota's Municipal liquor stores reported a 25th consecutive year of record sales.
State Auditor Julie Blaha released her annual report Thursday saying total municipal liquor sales surpassed $410 million in 2020, an increase of $38.5 million over 2019.
Net income of off-sale municipal liquor stores rose more than 25 percent, in contrast to a net income loss of 12 percent for on-sale liquor, due to the state-mandated closures of bars and restaurants in 2020.
The Sauk Rapids Municipal Liquor Store had a net profit of just over $330,000 in 2020.
There were 37 cities that posted net losses in 2020 led by Remer Municipal Liquor store which lost nearly $113,000. Holdingford had a loss of nearly $25,000.
