It hasn't happened here. The liquors stores do pretty good business still. The liquor store near us is definitely more convenient than going into the grocery store. I don't tend to buy beer or booze when I grocery shop - wines about it. I don't know why.

Those people running the stores can buy the inventory and stay as a private business, but the inventory is about $125,000 which may be beyond them. |

There'll always be specialty shops - "booze boutiques" ( I should copyright that). I can't imagine a gorcery store carrying a real high quality bourbon any more than Walmart would a high tech racing bicycle.

We have stores that have booze and gambling.
Liquor in the front, poker in the rear. (Thanks, I'll...stop now.) |

Gambling....not really. Not that kind anyway.

One advantage of mass retail like Walmart over small shops is that by buying in large quantities they are able to propose better goods for a lower price. So it is possible that you will find some high end beers, wines or whiskys at an affordable price. Yet, specialty shops will keep the upper hand in matters of knowledge, information and small series items.

Trader Joe's, for an instance of a chain, does rather nicely with the fraction of its revenue that streams from its sales of everything from hard cider to malt Scotches and miscellaneous vodkas. Now the new BevMo, a more specialized operation in the same town some few blocks over from the TJ's, brings forth the occasional cask-strength Scotch -- it being available upon the market. It may be difficult to handle anything "realer" than this.

Good smooth tequila's fine... but the tequila-lime-salt rotation really does add something besides electrolytes and vitamin C to the whole! No wonder somebody invented slushie margaritas. Tipsifying and refreshing for a hot day.
