Liquor Licenses For Stores

We have talked about on-sale liquor licenses for stores and their types of liquor licenses, but what if your business does not intend to be a restaurant or bar? The State of California requires businesses to have a liquor license whether the customer consumes it on site or off the premises. In this article we will review different types of liquor licenses for businesses that require off- sale retail licenses.
Store: Off-sale retail liquor licenses are different in comparison to on-sale liquor licenses because they allow customers to purchase alcohol on the premises and consume off premise.The two different types for off-sale retail liquor licenses are Type 20 and Type 21. Type 20 includes the privileges of selling beer and wine only. While in contrast, Type 21 will allow the sales of beer, wine, and spirits. The most common type of businesses that use either type 20 or 21 are service stations, convenient stores, and grocery stores.
