Since 2018, ABLE BC in partnership with Paul Rickett of VARKeting! has conducted an annual LRS Benchmark Survey.
As BC’s private liquor industry association, ABLE BC works to collect data for our membership and create an economic snapshot of our industry. We survey our private liquor store members on an annual basis to help develop KPIs or benchmarks for your business.
In 2023, we re-vamped our LRS Benchmark Survey. The LRS survey now comes in two versions: for independent stores and chains.
We also introduced two new surveys for our LP members: for independent establishments and chain or group establishments.
Individual results and any business information shared will be kept confidential. Results will be presented as aggregate data.
