EDEN PRAIRIE

City-run liquor stores extend their hoursEden Prairie said its three liquor stores will now be open six days a week, Monday-Saturday, from 9 a.m.-10 p.m.

The change is to alleviate confusion about different hours on different days.

Most recently, the stores were open until 10 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, so the change will extend the closing time by one additional hour Monday and Tuesday as well.
