The rule today
Groceries and gas stations may sell BEER ONLY — not wine, not spirits. KRS 243.230(5) bars a quota package license at any premises where a substantial part of business (10%+ of monthly gross sales) is staple groceries or gasoline. That is why Kentucky supermarkets have a physically separate attached liquor store. Many dry and "moist" counties — check locally.
