The commission this week reported a 4.5-percent increase in net sales, for a total of $534 million. That was an increase of about $23 million over the previous year.

State Liquor Commission Chairman Joseph Mollica says approximately $140 million went to the state's general fund, the largest contribution in commission history.

The state's 76 liquor and wine outlets led the way with a 4.6 percent increase in sales. Sales to restaurants and at grocery stores were also up.

The top performing stores were the two on Interstate 95 in Hampton and at the Portsmouth traffic circle.

Mollica tells The Portsmouth Herald ( http://bit.ly/rhhvBD) he credits the boost to aggressive out-of-state marketing, new in-store programs and the modernization of the outlets.
