Hippity Hop Down to BevMo! for New Store Opening in South Lake Tahoe

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 2, 2015) - BevMo!, the ultimate neighborhood specialty beverage retailer, is thrilled to announce that it is opening the doors to its newest location, conveniently located at the Y, next to TJ Maxx, at 961 Emerald Bay Road, South Lake Tahoe, Calif. on Friday, April 3 -- just in time for Easter celebrations! This beautiful location will serve as the 157^th BevMo! across California, Arizona and Washington, and BevMo!'s first store in the Lake Tahoe area. The new location will offer a wide selection of incredible beer, wine and spirits, from tried-and-true favorites to craft selections, perfect for spring parties and picnics. Plus, gourmet food items, cocktail mixers, glassware, bar accessories and more will be available.

We believe shopping for beverages should be as much fun as drinking them, which is why you'll find the very best selection by knowledgeable and passionate associates, tastings every weekend, amazing recipes and party ideas on our blog, perks for our ClubBev! members, and new convenient ways to purchase your items. BevMo! also allows you to order online with pick up in store an hour later and free delivery in California for all orders over $500.

"Spring is a time for new beginnings, so in the spirit of Spring, we're delighted to open our first store in the Lake Tahoe area," said BevMo! CEO Alan Johnson. "South Lake Tahoe is a vibrant, beautiful and close-knit community, and we're so excited to join the neighborhood, just in time for Easter weekend! Make like Peter Cottontail and hop on down the bunny trail to meet all your friends at BevMo! on opening day. Our friendly and knowledgeable BevMo! associates will be happy to help you find some yummy new chocolates or the perfect wine for Easter dinner."
