KITCHENER -- Two 7-Eleven locations in Waterloo could soon be offering alcohol to their customers.

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) announced on Twitter that the company had applied for liquor licences at 61 locations in the province.

You can see all of the pending applications on the AGCO's website by searching "7-eleven" under the "liquor" category.

Those applications have now entered the public notice phase, which ends on March 11.

On its website, the AGCO lists two locations in Waterloo that have had applications submitted: one on King Street North and the other on University Avenue East.

For each of the applications, the application is listed for an "indoor area." On Tuesday, the Canadian Press reported that the company would sell alcohol to be had in designated "consumption areas" within stores.

In a statement to CTV Kitchener, officials with 7-Eleven said they have applied for liquor licences at many of their Ontario locations.

"Our top priority is to provide our customers with safe access to the products they want, where and when they want them," the statement said in part. "To complement our fresh food and hot food programs, we are preparing for in-store service of a small selection of Ontario-made beer and wine products, offered during limited hours, and in designated consumption areas of our stores. Should we be successful in obtaining licences, all staff handling alcohol products will be SmartServe trained."

Along with the two locations in Waterloo, there are also applications pending for two 7-Eleven stores in Guelph and one in Stratford.

Andrew Murie, CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, is concerned about an increase in impaired driving.

"We're hoping it doesn't and that 7-Eleven applies the same corporate responsibilities as any other licensed established," Murie said.

Applications are in the public notice phase. Any objections can be filed by March 11.
