No. Colorado law closes every outlet, and the latest anything sells is midnight.A shop may close earlier than the law requires, so midnight is the outside edge rather than a promise.

Each licensed premises sets its own hours
Colorado sets statewide hours for packaged spirits, 8 a.m. to midnight. The question at a grocery is whether it may sell them at all: only a retail liquor store or a liquor-licensed drugstore may, so two nearby shops can differ. Check with the store.
