The History of 802bws
802bws was originally Merola's Market, which had been in business for many years. Diane Hazen bought it in 1998, located on the corner of Plattsburgh Ave and North Ave. After Diane passed away in 2010, her son Jason took over.
In 2012, noticing growth, Jason decided to expand. In October 2014, he moved the store to the Ethan Allen Shopping Center at 1127 North Ave, less than a mile away, and renamed it 802bws.
The store now covers 10,000 square feet, up from 3,500 square feet at the old location, and has 52 cooler doors to meet all your beer, wine, and liquor needs. Over the past 9 years, they’ve upgraded the shelves for a cleaner look and added two more coolers, making it one of the city's largest.
802bws is a family-owned business, with Jason and his family actively working there.
