Turkish Invasion: Products and Liquor Retailer

turkish invasion: Born in Cyprus and seeking refuge in Canada as a boy after the Turkish invasion of his homeland, Soleas today is on a mission to bring an international flavour to the liquor retailer's stores, according to Metro News. I'm an immigrant. We're having a hell of a time continuously stocking the store, says the liquor retailer's chief executive George Soleas. I'm a staunch Canadian, but I am also proud of that heritage, he said. To that end, the LCBO launched Products of the World boutiques last year within existing locations to showcase all of the items that would naturally appeal to a particular demographic, such as Portuguese products in the Stockyards, German products in Waterloo and Kosher products at three locations, including Bathurst and Lawrence. Forty years ago when I came here, I would go to the Danforth and buy my stuff that I was used to at home, like Greek cheese and other items, and I felt a lot of others do the same, whether they are Italian, Portuguese, East Asian.
