GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - A new ABC Store had its grand opening Friday in Greenville, and it generated quite a bit of anticipation and excitement.

Hundreds of people could be seen from Fire Tower Road waiting in line for a new bourbon drop.

Some started waiting as early as Thursday night, but many started arriving Friday morning around 7:00 to get an allocated bourbon, which is rare and in high demand.

These bourbons can also be sold at a much higher price in other states that aren’t federally regulated.

One Greenville resident waiting in line said she’s been to many bourbon drops, and while the line may seem crazy to some, she says it wasn’t too bad.
