Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries (MBLL) is the provincial Crown corporation legislated to wholesale and distribute liquor throughout the province. Our distribution centre in the City of Winnipeg serves more than 1,700 commercial customers across Manitoba, including privately-owned liquor vendors, duty-free stores, specialty wine stores, licensed bars and restaurants, and others. Most case beer sold mainly through private beer vendors is privately distributed under agreement with MBLL.
We maintain dedicated purchasing groups to service commercial customers as well as to supply our own Liquor Mart and Liquor Mart Express stores located mainly in urban centres.
One of the largest single buyers of beverage alcohol in the world, MBLL brings an incredible array of products into our province from over 50 different countries. Our selection is always changing to reflect market trends and the purchasing preferences of the Manitoba market. More information on purchase trends may be found in our annual reports on this page.
