ABC Liquor Store, Gloucester VA

ABC Liquor store. Located by Food Lion in Hayes. A nice selection of spirits. I've always found the staff to be nice and friendly the few times I've been in there. If you are new to Virginia, beer and wine are sold pretty much everywhere. Liquor however is state controlled and only sold in state controlled ABC stores. This brings me to a few questions. One, even though I understand the need to control a substance that has extreme potential danger, isn't state control a form of monopoly hence legalizing a monopoly which in other cases is against the law? Also, ABC stores are run for a profit. If a store is not making money, I've seen these stores shut down. So these stores are run for profit. Okay, so where are the profits allocated to? In these times of rising taxes, just some questions to ponder.

The only thing we found were a bunch of sites that put up generic sites for all business entities all around the nation. The service is free for the bare basics, but then they want to charge you for advanced services and your customer usually still can't find your site anyway.
