Dear FPBS Customer,
The students are back and boy are we busy at the bottle shops! The Five Points location is buzzing as usual with new semester activity. Keg beer, it seems never goes out of fashion ;) Meanwhile the Westside is still in the midst of a massive overhaul. The store has just gained an amazing 6,000 square feet making us the biggest package store in town! Swing by and see how crazy we actually are! We are going to host a Grand Re-Opening in the upcoming months but no date has been selected yet. In the meantime here are a few dates to mark on your calendar. Thank you for your continued support throughout the summer months.We hope you can make it to one of our upcoming events :)
Hope to see you,
Your friends at Five Points Bottle Shop
