Independence From Prohibition
In time to make the 4th of July an even better event, our state approved legislation removing a previous ban prohibiting liquor store sales on Sundays. Mind you, I didn’t race to the store to grab a six-pack of my favorite micro, but I did feel a sense of satisfaction knowing there was one less hurdle for doing business with some local merchants. Now if only Trader Joe’s would resume their interest in coming to Colorado…pretty please?!
It reminds one that if you just create a path of least resistance, things can correct themselves and improve the business climate. In this case, removing an obsolete (if not downright asinine) law from the books.
Raise a toast, maybe Sunday liquor sales will equate to more revenue and more job opportunities. I know some will grumble about working a Sunday, but some folks will be happy to take a shift on a weekend. If I were a liquor store, you bet I’d be having an event of some sort…say, with a 21st Amendment party theme? Read a great article from Colorado Daily and another one here, from the Boulder County Business Report on this subject.
