SALT LAKE CITY - Utah's state liquor stores saw record sales before Thanksgiving and Christmas of 2016, and they expect the same again this year. However, this year they say they're determined to improve their reputation for customer service.

"We're a retail operation and just like every retail operation we do care about our customers," said Terry Wood, spokesman for the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

To make things smoother, they've ramped up operations at their central warehouse in order to keep inventory stocked at all their stores.
