I live in New York and I didn’t know Pennsylvania Liquor is publicly sold. What do they have their own brand lol. I don’t understand. are there really state-run stores that sell liquor only? Sounds weird

One can purchase liquor only in state-owned liquor stores in Oregon, also. There are probably other states with similar situations.

OK. There are a bunch of states with State-controlled liquor stores:

GREEN - State Control of beer, wine, and spirits
BLUE - State Control of wine and spirits
Light BLUE - State Control of spirits
ORANGE - Other

PA has a lot of blue laws still on the books, and controlling alcohol sales is one of them.

Of course it’s only still around because the licensed distributors have a vested interest and buy the votes to kill any bill to repeal.

It wasn’t until 1980 that you could even order alcohol at a restaurant on Sunday.

I lived in Reading, Pa. in the late 60s, about 100,000 population and as far as I know there only 2 state stores, they were large and always busy. That happens if you have a monopoly.

Charge what you want to charge, be rude to your customers. What are they gonna do? They’ll be back, no matter how you treat them.
