Saskatchewan says its Liquor and Gaming Authority buildings in seven communities have been sold for just over two-million dollars.

The authority says it has accepted offers for the buildings in Esterhazy, La Ronge, Buffalo Narrows, Creighton, Carlyle, Humboldt and Moosomin.

Lori Carr, the minister in charge of the authorities, says selling the properties is another step in the process to wind down their retail footprint.

The authority owed 19 stores, five of which are to be repurposed for other government organizations, and the rest are to be sold in the coming weeks.
