The State of Utah announced that the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services is seeking small town partners to operate retail liquor stores known as “package agencies” and Uintah Basin communities are on the list. “Package agencies often look like small retail liquor stores located in rural parts of Utah where state liquor stores are sparse,” shares DABS Director Tiffany Clason. “These stores are built into the fabric of tight-knit small towns, serving local residents and tourists visiting Utah’s scenic attractions. Utahns are known for their entrepreneurial spirit and we hope to receive a diverse and qualified pool of applicants interested in the opportunity.” Roosevelt City and Duchesne City are among the locations where the 37 package agency contracts are available to applicants. Visit abs.utah.gov/package-agencies for information about package agencies and to find details on how to apply for a fiscal year 2025-2028 package agency contract.
