Does Amazon deliver liquor in Minnesota?
In some cases, Amazon fulfills orders through local retail partners, such as Surdyk’s in Minneapolis, but this is not a long-term solution. Seeking to maximize efficiency and minimize costs, Amazon will continue to gobble up liquor licenses for its own warehouses as quickly as it can.
