Binny's Beverage Depot is a family business liquor store chain in Illinois originally founded in 1948.
The company operates forty-six retail locations, including eight in Chicago, thirty-three in the surrounding area, and one each in Champaign, Springfield, Peoria, Bloomington, and Rockford.[1] One of its stores operates in the former Ivanhoe Castle, a medieval-styled building on Clark Street and Wellington Avenue in Lakeview.[2][3]
The privately held company was founded in 1948 by Harold Binstein as Gold Standard Liquors at Clark and Sheffield, one block south of Wrigley Field.[4] [5]
Michael Binstein is the current CEO of Binny's Beverage Depot, having taken over following his father's death in August 1995.[4][6][7]
