ABC to close 12 stores including Haymarket in April 13 consolidation move

The Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority (ABC) says it will consolidate its retail operations in the Northern Virginia area, which it said “continues to be one of the most impacted regions of the commonwealth during this ongoing health crisis.” ABC said it “supports employees’ decisions to self-quarantine when necessary, which has impacted staffing levels in this region.”

To maintain appropriate staffing and allow time to train additional personnel, ABC says it will temporarily close 12 Northern Virginia stores, including Haymarket. Here’s the list:

Location Address
Fairfax 0685 Braddock Road
Fairfax 3903 Fair Ridge Drive Suite “N”
Fredericksburg 507 William Street
Alexandria 686 St. Asaph Street
Annandale 6920-E Bradlick Shopping Center
Arlington 2507 North Harrison Street
Ashburn 44722 Brimfield Drive
Haymarket 5331 Merchants View Square
Herndon 378 Elden Street
Springfield 6230-I Rolling Road
Stafford 50 North Stafford Complex Center Suite
Vienna 8150 Leesburg Pike Suite 110

The authority is offering employees in the temporarily closed stores who want to work the option to do so in nearby locations to sustain operations in stores that remain open. No employees will lose the opportunity to work, a news release said.
