Binny's Beverage Depot opened its doors at U.S. 30 and Wolf Road last week as part of a soft opening for the Chicago-area liquor store chain.
The 25,000-square-foot store opened Friday, Feb. 12, at its newest location at the Mokena Marketplace. The freestanding store features a walk-in humidor for cigar sales and a wine cellar.
It is the company's 32nd store and third in the south suburbs, including locations in Orland Park and Evergreen Park. It is the chain's first store south of Interstate 80.
Hours are from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. from Monday to Thursday, from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
The store will celebrate its grand opening from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 27. The store will hold a ribbon-cutting at 11:45 a.m. with Mokena Mayor Frank Fleischer.
Guests are invited to sign up for a free Binny's Card, enjoy tastings of staff favorite wines and new California releases, local and national craft beers and free giveaways.
For information, call the store at 815-534-8980 or visit Binny's.
