Target is planning to serve alcohol in a new store in the Chicago area;

Quote
Target, the superstore that somehow makes everyone prone to impulse buys, just found a new way to get us to fork over more cash: serving cocktails and selling bottles of booze.

At one store in Chicago, which is slated to open in October, customers could take a break from their shopping sprees and indulge in a drink (or three). According to Crain's Chicago, the new Windy City location applied for not one but two liquor licenses—one to sell packaged booze on its shelves and the other to serve beer, wine, and spirits from a bar inside the 24,000-square-foot space.

If given approval, it will be the only Target store to serve alcohol on-site. We're crossing our fingers that there will be a few bright red signature cocktails (think cosmopolitans, spiked strawberry lemonade ) on the menu and, of course, a nationwide roll-out of this boozy concept. Because nothing else can improve a trip to the grocery store quite like a glass of rosé, am I right?

While this is absolutely amazing, it will also probably definitely lead to more bad decisions when it comes to spending more cash. You know, like picking up yet another adorable set of salt-and-pepper shakers just because you have zero willpower once you step inside. I mean, who could say no to this cute little ceramic hedgehog? Especially while tipsy...


In my case of course it would be something from the electronics section that I totally don't need.

It would have been amusing if they had done this in Florida first.

Don't worry. Chicago is a test case, and if it proves to be a success, I can see Targets in Florida selling liquor by the drink, and if it is successful at Target, Walmart may not be far behind.

And if Apple served alcohol in their stores they could make a killing off people like me.
