After seven years operating in West Kelowna, Sitara Liquor has relocated to Lake Country, establishing itself as the neighbourhood liquor store in the growing Lakes neighbourhood.

The 1,100-square-foot store, which carries a large selection of domestic and imported beers, wines and spirits, opened in late November after its very successful run in West Kelowna.

After failing to find a new location on the Westside of Okanagan Lake, an opportunity came up to relocate to Lake Country and the potential of the new location was immediately recognized.

Hercules Katountas has a passion for the hospitality business, being the son of the owner of a popular restaurant in Nelson growing up and then opening his own restaurant and liquor store there 20 years ago.
