Because of the state's liquor laws all of Colorado's liquor store are independently owned. That means you can find everything from a small store tucked in next a grocery store to giant stores which feel like a big-box store. Some stores actually become tourist draws and in some cases, even those giant stores are really just the "little shop around the corner" neighborhood place.
