In an emailed statement, LCBO confirmed no customers or staff were hurt. The company said it is assessing the damage and will provide an update when it knows when the store will reopen.
In 2019, a 40-year-old man was killed when the truck he was driving slammed into the wall of the same LCBO at Ottawa Street and Alpine Road.
Police later said alcohol was a factor in that crash.
