The Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control is celebrating the opening of its newest store that features a new design that's intended to be more shopper-friendly.
Officials say the store in Leesburg is the second of the new store format. Officials marked the store opening on Wednesday.
The so-called "premier store design'' features U-shaped traffic patterns designed to expose shoppers to more products. The new store also pays homage to the early days of distilled spirits with a reproduction vintage moonshine still on display. According to the department, other stores will gradually be remodeled using the new design concept.
