Municipal Liquor Store Operations

The City’s three municipal liquor stores comprise one of the largest municipal off-sale operations in the State of Minnesota. Eden Prairie Liquor profts contribute to the fnancial well-being of the City by funding important capital projects. City leaders believe municipal-owned liquor operations help to protect the health and safety of youth by placing emphasis on preventing sales to underage people.

Overall liquor store sales totaled $11,753,806 in 2022, a 1% increase versus 2021; the City transferred $800,000 in profts to the Capital Improvement Project fund. Over the past 10 years, $8.4-million in liquor store profts have funded various capital projects, including improved lighting at Miller Park, construction of a new Round Lake Park building and trail maintenance.
