Apply for an Affiliate Delivery Licence

The AGCO issues licences that allow you to deliver liquor to customers for a fee, as well as take or solicit orders for the sale of liquor for delivery. 

An Affiliate Delivery Licence is required to deliver liquor for an affiliated licensed grocery store or licensed and eligible convenience store to the public for a fee.

Liquor must be purchased and obtained from the affiliated retail store and delivered from that store’s inventory or inventory the licensee holds on behalf of affiliated stores.

To be eligible for an Affiliate Delivery Licence, applicants must:

• Be affiliated with a holder of a Grocery Store Licence (GSL) or a Convenience Store Licence CSL (Note: if you are affiliated with a holder of a CSL, the convenience store licensee must hold at least 20 CSLs, either alone or along with its affiliates); and 
• Operate a business consisting primarily of the delivery, or the sale and delivery, of products that are available for sale at: 
  • a grocery store, in the case of an applicant who is affiliated with the holder of a GSL; or
  • a convenience store, in the case of an applicant who is affiliated with the holder of a CSL.

If you are looking for a general licence to be able to deliver liquor for a fee from all other eligible establishments, please apply for a General Delivery Licence.

None.
