Blanchard's Liquors in Allston to Close This Fall

Blanchard's on Harvard Avenue is closing for good. An employee confirmed the news Wednesday as 'Store Closing' signs went up, saying the 8,000-square-foot store is expected to close by mid-to-late October, though no final day has been set. Owner Chris Corey told staff the business has been in his family since 1954, and the closure follows years of declining sales and recent management departures.
