- 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).
