From the Denver Post:
A little-known law allows each grocery chain to apply for a license to sell full-strength beer, wine and hard liquor in just one of its Colorado stores. A handful of chains have gone that route, including Safeway, which recently opened a Littleton store where shoppers can pick up a bottle of vodka with their loaf of bread.
I don’t want to imply that I’m so desperate for the booze that the Colorado blue law baning Sunday liquor sales is a major thorn in my side, but there have certainly been times that it has been a major hassle–hassle enough that I might would have trekked to Littleton to pick up a bottle.
The Post article reports that the legislature is once again going to try to repeal our antiquated blue laws. They didn’t have any luck beating the liquor store lobby in 2005, the last time they attempted to alter the status quo. The article doesn’t mention anything that would suggest the outcome will be any different this time around.
On last check, the online version of the article has 85 comments.
