A new liquor store is set to take the place of the former Rite Aid on Elm Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. The establishment will be the third NH Liquor & Wine Outlet in the state’s largest city, expanding the New Hampshire Liquor Commission’s (NHLC) portfolio in the area. The NHLC anticipates the new outlet will open its doors in early 2026.
This new location is part of a broader strategy by the NHLC to increase accessibility to liquor and wine products across New Hampshire. The decision to replace the Rite Aid comes as the commission aims to better serve the community’s needs while providing a variety of options for consumers. The site, conveniently situated in the North End, is expected to attract both local residents and visitors alike.
The NHLC has noted that the new outlet will not only create jobs but also generate revenue that can support local initiatives. This development is indicative of the growing demand for liquor and wine products in the region, reflecting changing consumer preferences.
In recent years, Manchester has seen an increase in retail opportunities, and the addition of the NH Liquor & Wine Outlet is expected to enhance the city’s commercial landscape. The site was chosen for its strategic location, which is easily accessible to customers in the area.
As the NHLC prepares for the opening, the community can look forward to a modern shopping experience designed to meet a range of consumer needs. The commission is committed to ensuring that the new outlet provides a diverse selection of products, including locally sourced options that highlight New Hampshire’s unique offerings.
With the anticipated opening in early 2026, residents of Manchester and surrounding areas will soon have another convenient venue for purchasing liquor and wine, contributing to the local economy and enhancing the retail landscape of the North End.
