Top Ten Liquors Will Continue Selling THC After December 11

Top Ten Liquors Pledges to Keep THC Shelves Stocked Past December 11 Amid Market Confusion

Between now and December 11, the rumor mill across Minnesota is going to churn out plenty of noise about the future of hemp-derived THC beverages and edibles. Some of it will sound downright alarming, suggesting shoppers ought to clear out the store aisles and hoard seltzers in their basements before upcoming federal and state regulatory shifts alter the retail landscape.

Top Ten Liquors Chief Executive Officer Jon Halper is pushing back against the panic, assuring customers that the regional chain is staying firmly in the business. According to a company announcement covered by mspmag.com, all 16 Twin Cities metro locations will continue carrying and selling hemp-derived THC products long after the December 11 threshold passes, maintaining full compliance with Minnesota law.

The Price Disconnect on Popular Seltzers and Edibles

For regular buyers of low-dose beverages and gummies, the financial stakes of retail stability are substantial. Shoppers who purchase their favorites week after week often run into steep markups at specialty boutiques and independent vendors.

Top Ten Liquors positions its department not as a novelty section, but as a core grocery-style category backed by routine market price comparisons. To put the pricing into perspective, a 12-pack of Gigli 10mg Variety runs $29.96 at Top Ten, saving consumers about $10 compared with rival major retailers in the Twin Cities area. Meanwhile, a 4-pack of Wunder Blackberry Lemon sits at $15.96—roughly $4 cheaper than typical competitor pricing—while popular lines like Daizy’s Variety 12-packs and Trail Magic Half & Half 4-packs carry similarly reduced price tags.

Product	Top Ten Liquors Price	Estimated Competitor Price	Approximate Savings
Gigli 10mg Variety (12-pack)	$29.96	higher	about $10
Wunder Blackberry Lemon (4-pack)	$15.96	higher	about $4

Evolving Formats and Regulatory Realities Ahead

The marketplace has matured far beyond simple sparkling waters since Minnesota first established its legal framework. Buyers now evaluate extensive assortments featuring gummies, sugar-free choices, and specialized variety packs tailored to different social occasions.

Beyond ready-to-drink cans, the inventory increasingly incorporates mix-it-yourself options designed for everyday beverages. Portable, pre-measured drops and powder packs allow consumers to add precise doses to sparkling water, lemonade, iced tea, or mocktails. For larger gatherings, the chain stocks 750ml bottles of THC-infused spirits meant for custom mixers. Each format maintains strict dosage controls, requiring buyers to be 21 or older.

While the product selection is expanding, the transition past December 11 will not be entirely seamless. Federal rules are shifting, meaning shoppers might encounter temporary supply disruptions from certain brands or face adjusted payment methods—such as shifting strictly to cash or debit transactions at the register. Yet, company leadership maintains that these logistical hurdles will not derail their overarching retail strategy.

The doors remain open, the inventory is locked in, and the team is bracing for business on December 12 and beyond.
