The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) announced it won Best Retail Innovation in the 2017 StateWays Control States Best Practices Awards for its rapid response to the retail changes brought about by Act 39 of 2016.

In presenting the award, StateWays recognized the PLCB for quickly and efficiently expanding Fine Wine & Good Spirits store hours on Sundays and holidays, as well as implementing sales of Pennsylvania Lottery tickets. Prior to Act 39, Pennsylvania law limited both the number of stores that could be open on Sundays and the hours stores may operate on Sundays. The weekend after Act 39 took effect, the 188 stores that had already been open on Sundays saw store hours expanded by three additional hours. Between early August, when the new law took effect, and late September, more than 300 stores were open on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
