History

Established in 2012.

Owned by the husband-​and-​wife team, Dan Locche and Brenda Alesii, Straight Up Wines & Liquors opened in December 7, 2012. They wanted to be sure that they incorporated the best of what they have experience in the retail world: Excellent customer service, a good variety, cleanliness, competitive pricing, and a well-​trained, welcoming staff. From the moment the doors opened, special discounts have been offered to those who serve the community: police, fire, medical and service veterans receive discounts on all purchases. There’s still a great liquor store in Kenmore!
