Raleigh, N.C. — Grocery stores and other retailers could sell liquor under a long-discussed privatization bill that rolled out Tuesday at the General Assembly.

WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) - It was only four months ago that Kansas grocery and convenient stores stocked their shelves with 6% beer for the first time instead of 3.2%. However, those stores were not the only ones who started selling new products.
