MOORESTOWN, NJ — It took more than a century for a liquor store to open in Moorestown. But that moment will arrive next week. Super Buy Rite will open May 3, bringing a liquor retailer to the historically dry town ship for the first time since Moorestown was Moorestown. Before the township was established in 1922, the area was part of Chester Township, which banned liquor sales in 1915. Moorestown maintained the restrictions in place for nearly eight decades after national Prohibition ended in 1933. Voters passed a repeal of the ban in a 2011 referendum. A decade later, the Township Council passed an ordinance that permitted liquor stores in Moorestown. The ordinance restricted them from operating within 200 feet of residential zones, effectively consolidating them to the Moorestown Mall area and other business districts. Super Buy Rite will operate at 675 S Lenola Rd. — a pad site on the mall's property. Buy Rite Wine & Liquor has about 50 locations throughout New Jersey, including a handful of "super" stores.
