- ColoradoPermitted
In Colorado, groceries and convenience stores sell full-strength beer (since 2019) and wine (since March 2023), but the standard grocery license does not permit spirits. A grocery store that also runs a pharmacy can hold a liquor-licensed drugstore license, and those stores do sell spirits. No new grocery liquor licenses are being issued (SB25-033).

- NevadaPermitted
In Nevada, groceries and convenience stores sell all three — beer, wine and spirits — because Nevada's retail liquor store definition carries no product-class or store-type limit, though hours are set locally. State law sets no closing hour, but NRS 369.190 and 369.320 leave licensing and hours to counties and cities, so 24-hour availability is the norm in Clark and Washoe rather than a statewide guarantee. Expect local variation elsewhere.
