Grocery and convenience stores
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.
