Beer and Wine Wire

Three Massachusetts locations of Ocean State Job Lot have begun selling wine and beer — Medford, Randolph, and Falmouth — and Southwick and Sturbridge will eventually start as well. The selection includes private-label beers made by Rochester, NY's Genesee Brewing Company and wines out of California, but rest assured they've been tasted. "If [customers] won't enjoy drinking it, charging a low price for it doesn't matter," Paul Conforti, an Ocean State executive, told the Boston Business Journal. [BBJ]
