Larry’s Package Store

One of my favorite package stores in my area. Their beer selection is decent though not quite as good as Grape Expectations. But I have been shopping here more often lately because, as it turns out, you can request specific beer to the employees and there is a chance that they will actually start carrying it. I had mentioned a specific beer to them maybe two months ago and I have seen it in stock the past few times I’ve been there. I suppose this could be a coincidence, technically, but I am happy.

What a difference new management makes. Haven’t visited in years because of a previously poor experience. New management has increased variety of craft beer (warm & cold), liquor, and even gotten the deli up and running. The friendly staff even said «hello, thank you, and goodbye», without a sale, which is becoming more rare these days business-​to-​consumer sales.

I was very impressed the last time I walked into Larry’s since it has been taken
over by new management not only does the place look immaculate but it’s fully stocked! the staff is always nice & very helpful. I was losing hope in this place back December would have given it 1
star now
I’m giving it a 5! will definetely be stopping by more frequently

If you decide to accidentally walk into this place don’t say I didn’t try to warn you. This place is an absolutely pit as far as liquor stores are concerned. From constant out of stocks of a sub par selection to a generally filthy atmosphere they’ve actually managed to sink even further. I am a resident of the area and have found since the «new» management have taken over all they do is put down other businesses in the area rather than focusing on their own issues. Granted business is always tough but when I walk in I don’t want to hear harassing comments if I ask if there’s someone else in the area that might have the item I am looking for. Then to make things worse the comments on the next local store have one bad review and it just happens to be the same person that gave this pit a 5 star review, coincidence… I think not. I would go into Larry’s for convenience but after this last encounter not only will I never be going back in I will make sure everyone I know hears about it and does their business elsewhere. If this is the «new» managements take on getting customers back than they are seriously over their heads in the market. Go about a mile down the street and look in the market basket plaza. It gets a little crowded in there but once you go in you will realize how big of a mistake it was ever going to Larry’s.

Worst selection ever. It’s close to my house or I’d say I’d never go here again… They didn’t even have Miller Lite… Want wine? Look somewhere else…

Larry’s is a unique little gem tucked away at the intersection of two main streets in Bellingham. When you first drive by Larry’s, you might not even think it’s a liquor store because it looks like an old Agway barn. There’s also a hot dog vendor in the parking lot from about March until September, which is a little odd.
Anyway, if you get past all that and go into Larry’s you’ll have to make a decision. Do you want bread or do you want booze? That’s right, Larry’s is a convenience store AND a liquor store! The liquor store portion is a little on the small side, but they have all the basics and a few unique items like Strongbow beer. Their prices are a little on the ridiculous side for liquor considering all of the competition they have within a 5 minute drive in any direction. Oh, and don’t return any bottles to Larry’s for the 5 cent deposit, because they never take your deposit off the price of the alcohol that you buy. That’s right drunken cashier lady, I’m onto you.
