Liquor Barn, the San Leandro-based liquor discount retail chain, said Wednesday that it will move its headquarters to San Diego by May 1, a move that will result in layoffs of about 40 employees at its administrative offices in the San Francisco Bay Area. Executives at the 65-store chain also said they plan to open at least 22 new stores by 1993, nearly all in Southern California.
