Self-limited? There are three in Carlsbad/Encinitas CA.

The only CO limit is one alcohol license per store chain and I don't
think grocery stores can sell anything but beer, altho they have tried
to get legislation permitting wine and hard stuff. The liquor store
owners have a strong lobby. They fought against Sunday opening hard but
eventually lost that battle.

TJs likes to have multiple stores in a region to use the economies of
central warehousing. They are building the one in Boulder from the
ground up where they knocked down an existing store. I heard recently
they are planning one in Denver/Cherry Creek near the former CU Medical
Center area, in an existing storefront near Colorado Blvd and 8th Ave.
I have also heard there is one planned for the southwest suburbs,
Littleton or SW Jeffco.

Denver area now has Penzey's, IKEA, Sprouts and TJ is coming. Nice!
