1933 Liquor Co.

What 1933 Liquor Co. does

1933 Liquor Co. is a privately held, single-location neighborhood liquor retailer headquartered at 895 Great Northern Way, Vancouver, BC. The company sells wine, beer, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages across two primary service channels: a physical storefront open daily from 10am to 11pm, and an online ordering platform (order.1933liquorco.com) that delivers via third-party logistics to Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, typically within 25-50 minutes and free of charge on orders above $69. The business was founded in 2024 and positions itself as "Vancouver's newest" neighborhood liquor store, with a curated assortment of local and international products.

Beyond transactional retail, the company monetizes a third revenue stream through experience-based services. These include regular in-store events such as whiskey master classes, wine flights, and pizza nights (ticketed through the TOCK platform and co-hosted with local restaurants, markets, distilleries, and breweries), as well as an on-site corporate tasting service for groups of 20+ guests at client offices, paired with custom charcuterie from La Grotta Del Formaggio. Customer acquisition is driven primarily through a weekly email newsletter, in-person events, and community partnerships.

Operationally, the company runs with 1-10 employees and discloses no proprietary technology, R&D, or capital structure. The stack is built on third-party SaaS: Squarespace for the marketing website, Deliverect for online order management, TOCK for ticketing, and contracted third-party logistics for last-mile delivery. No revenue, funding rounds, ownership details, leadership bios, patents, or industry certifications are publicly disclosed, and the company has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities.
