The province says the outlets – two in Saskatoon and one in Regina – will meet demand in growing neighbourhoods.
But proposals aren’t limited to those districts and applicants can suggest their own location.
The deadline for submissions is Jan. 30 with a decision expected in late March.
Premier Brad Wall hinted last month that new liquor stores were needed because of population growth, but he was also quick to say existing provincially owned liquor stores would not be privatized.
