C Licenses Saved - For NowLegislature Adjourns Without Taking Action on Bottle Law, Wine & Liquor in Grocery Stores, Expanding RTDs

The C license is safe, for now. The governor’s proposal that would have allowed the SLA to issue new C licenses, opening our business to all comers, including big box stores, was removed from the budget, which was finally approved, nearly 2 months late.

Welcome to the New York State Association of Beverage Centers

We represent the interests of beverage discount centers from Montauk to Buffalo.

NYSABC members hold New York State Liquor Authority (SLA) C Licenses, wholesale beer licenses with off-premises retail privileges.

We sell beer, soda, wine coolers, water and sports drinks at wholesale and retail, and candy, snack foods and seasonal specialty items (like BBQ and picnic supplies, propane and firewood) at retail.
