1st liquor store in over 100 years opens in Moorestown

It’s been nearly 100 years since Moorestown had a liquor store, but all of that changes Friday, now that a store has opened at the Moorestown Mall.

"I’m happy. I’ve got to drive out of the way to find a decent liquor store with a decent selection," Mount Laurel resident Andrew Rought said.Rought, a bourbon connoisseur, can look no further.Located on South Lenola Road at the Moorestown Mall, Super Buy Rite is the first liquor store in Moorestown since before Prohibition over a century ago."We are missing this kind of store here and this is a really good one," Amar Gunda stated.

And, the thinking was if we could get more things in here that would attract residents from outside, it would help revitalize the mall," Moorestown Mayor, Nicole Gillespie, explained.Resident Jay Haley was more blunt, "We don’t have much around here because it’s New Jersey, so we gotta appreciate it."Mayor Gillespie says the town is limited by population on the number of liquor stores allowed, but there is one other license, so another store could be on the way in the future.
