I think Virginia is also in the liquor business for the extra $$$[/quote]

It’s definately the money.

Can you really no buy beer and wine in the grocery store in MD?  That is crazy. [/quote]

There are a few grandfathered licenses. Balduccis has one. Magruders used to be able to. Talbert’s on river Rd has one.

It’s why the Trader Joe’s in MoCo don’t sell wine. [/quote]

Chain retailers are only issued 1 license for the entire chain. The 7-11 on 97 in Aspen Hill sells beer, and I think the Giant’s license is used at a location in White Oak. Single location groceries like the Grosvenor Market and the now closed Chevy Chase Supermarket can sell beer and wine. [/quote]

They do the same thing to restaurants - an owner can have one restaurant that sells alcohol but if you open a second location that location can’t sell alcohol. Why would anyone ever do business in this county??
This is why Urban BBQ sells beer at the Norbeck location, but the one in Rockville does not. That ridiculously cuts into profits and I can’t believe the county thinks that that’s a good business practice. [/quote]

My reply got buried above - anyway how do the Black’s Restauraunt group, the Olazzo/Gringo’s guys, etc do it? Different owners on paper even though it’s the same owners? [/quote]
