Prince George's County - Alcoholic Beverages - Class A Beer and Class A Beer and Wine Licenses - Retail Grocery Establishments PG 304-26
This bill allows certain retail grocery stores inside Prince George's County's Capital Beltway to obtain licenses for selling beer and beer-and-wine. Specifically, independently owned stores or chains operating under the same brand name that sell a full range of food across at least six categories can apply for Class A beer or beer-and-wine licenses. It modifies existing law to exempt these grocery establishments from the standard rule prohibiting multiple alcohol licenses, meaning they can hold this new license without violating other licensing restrictions. This change directly affects qualifying grocery stores in the designated area of Prince George's County.
