CENTER SPIRIT SHOP

The Center Spirit shop was opened in 1972 by Adam Kajda where Bruce Wundt worked and acquired a passion for wine. In 1980 Bruce and Scott Wundt bought the Center Spirit Shop while both working part-time and keeping their full-time jobs.

Their first full-time employee was their mother Dolores, who still works there part-time. Bruce was very involved with the Granby Chamber of Commerce and after he was killed in an automobile accident in 2004, Scott continued his work serving as the Chamber President in 2010.

Throughout the years the Center Spirit Shops has participated and contributed to many charities and fundraisers in the area. Having lived in Granby, Granville and Southwick Scott says: “We love the whole are, it’s been a great place to raise a family.”

At the Center Spirit shop in Granby, CT you will find the staff to be well trained and knowledgeable about the selections offered with a focus on wines including champagne, the reinforced wines (sherry, port, sauterne, marsala, etc) as well as other liberations.

You can also find high quality micro-brewery beer, ale and stout including Gluten-free beers. There is a variety of Liquors (vodka, scotch, Irish and Canadian whiskies, gin and brandy) and aperitifs, cordials and miniatures.  Additional services include party planning and bar service. Quantity discounts are available for larger function orders.

Today Scott still works his full-times job as a Sales Manager for Northeast Regional, a Texas engine parts distributor. Later during the week you can find him at the store after 4pm serving clients and greeting familiar faces.
