Yep. In CO a company/chain can only own one liquor license, not
multiples, for stores (restaurants are exempt, I guess.) The same was
true for Massachusetts years ago, and there's a TJ's in suburban Boston
(Needham?) that doesn't sell alcohol, IIRC.

The no-Sunday-sales law for liquor stores was put to a vote and
voila, we now can buy on Sunday as of July 15.
