SPRINGFIELD — Ocean State Job Lot says it plans to sell wine at its new Springfield store by the fall.
The store’s license application comes before the Springfield Board of License Commissioners Aug. 12.
If approved at that meeting, the application goes to the state Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission for approval, said Peter Sygnator, Springfield License Commission chairman.
Ocean State specializes in off-brand selections and is not expected to compete with other nearby package stores, Sygnator said.
The license will be for off-premises consumption. Even though it’s a beer and wine license, Ocean State makes no mention of selling beer.
Expect to pay at least 50% less than what the same wine sells for elsewhere or online, said company spokesman Spenser Gossy.
“Every year, wine makers produce new vintages. Oftentimes, when wine distributors buy the new vintages from the wine makers, they have excess of older vintages that they need to sell,” he wrote in an email. “These older vintages are frequently better than the newer ones, as the wine is improving with age in the bottle. OSJL sells wines from all over the world, including California, France, Italy, and Portugal, though their selection is always changing because they’re buying product with a limited supply. Once it’s gone, it’s gone!”
In February, Ocean State moved to 1686 Boston Road from a smaller nearby store at 1534 Boston Road. The new store, once a Toys “R” Us, has nearly twice the shopping space of the old one, with 42,700 square feet.
Founded in 1977 and headquartered in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, Ocean State Job Lot is a privately held discount retail chain with 139 stores in New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It has approximately 5,600 employees and annual sales of approximately $725 million.
The company has acquired other Toys “R” Us locations in Brockton and Dartmouth, as well as in New York, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania.
Ocean State has beer and wine licenses already at seven Massachusetts locations, according to records of the state Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission. Those locations are in Fairhaven, Falmouth, Leominster, Medford, Sturbridge, Westborough and Randolph.
The state limits the number of beer and wine licenses that one licensee can own to nine. Backers recently pulled a proposed referendum from the 2020 ballot that would have lifted that limit.
Ocean State Job Lot also sells wine at its Maine stores in Belfast, Rockland, Sanford, Biddeford, Oxford and Falmouth, as well as in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, the company said.
