Thunderbird Liquors moves

Thunderbird Liquors has moved from its location at 2101 Classen Boulevard to the new East Village on 12th Avenue SE and Lindsey Street.

Owner Terence Heckart said the new location is twice the space of the old Phillips 66 Station he occupied 21 and a half years. He said the new space is welcome.

"I couldn't bring any new products in because I didn't have enough space," he said. "This place is wide open. We can do lots of things and have lots of new products here that we couldn't do in the old location due to space."
