Serving Kent Island Since 1971

Over 50 years of heritage, community partnership, and beverage excellence at Kent Town Market.

Serving Kent Island Since 1971

Established in 1971 — Five Decades of Heritage

Founded in 1971, Kent Towne Liquors has been a proud fixture of Kent Island for over five decades. What began over 50 years ago as a small neighborhood shop at 20 Kent Town Market in Chester, Maryland, has grown alongside our community to become the Eastern Shore's premier destination for fine wines, rare spirits, and craft beers.

2015 Stewardship — Abhi Viradia

In 2015, stewardship of the store transitioned under the leadership of Abhi Viradia. Focused on honoring the store's 1971 legacy, Abhi expanded our wine cellar, established a walk-in craft beer cave, and curated a dedicated rare bourbon vault — all while preserving the friendly, family-owned atmosphere our regulars love.

Deep Local Community Integration

We believe a great shop is built on deep community roots. Kent Towne Liquors takes pride in supporting local Queen Anne's County charities, regional community events, and local Maryland craft producers — from Lyon Rum in St. Michaels and Maryland rye distillers to local Eastern Shore breweries. Whether you are a lifelong Kent Island neighbour, a weekend boater on the Chesapeake Bay, or crossing the Bay Bridge on your way to the beach, you are family here.
