BEL AIR, MD — Bel Air Liquors does more than just sell alcohol out of its 315 South Main Street storefront. The store offers a delivery option for customers in the area as well as gift order deliveries for special occasions. The business also focuses on giving back to the community and supports several charities and projects.
Owned by Larry Dean and managed by Erin Dean, Bel Air Liquors has customers age 21 to 90s. They come not just from Harford County, but also Baltimore and Cecil counties. They even have customers from Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia and New York.
“What we love most about the Bel Air and Harford County communities is the overall feeling of family. It is genuinely a community that supports and cheers one another on. The support we receive from other local businesses, customers, past and present employees, and our friends and family is extraordinary. We are a hard-working, family-owned and operated business and have been going strong for 26 years. We cannot thank everyone enough for their love and support,” Erin Dean said. “It truly means the world to us and we are so proud to be a part of this community.”
