And since, liquor stores have been feeling the effects, similar to when full-strength beer was first allowed in grocery stores in Colorado.Joy's Wine and Spirits owner Carolyn Joy believes voters only thought of convenience, but not how much it would impact the independently owned liquor and wine stores. The liquor store has been in her family since 1963 and she said they've never seen a hit like this. Grocery, convenience stores prepare to sell wine on March 1 "The majority of our business is wine and so the impact of this is greater than any other event since I’ve been here," she said. Similarly, Jason Frank owns Crafty’s Wine and Liquor in Aurora, which was targeted by two robberies recently, losing $7,000 in product. He said his wine sales are down 15-20% and, trending worse ea...
