DENVER — It’s her business of 14 years. It’s also Katina Gatchis’ livelihood. She owns Capitol Hill Liquors.

“By the time they go to the big grocery store, three families would be destroyed,” Gatchis said.

She’s talking about a new push called “Your Choice Colorado” to allow grocery stores to sell beer and wine.

Georgie Aguirre is leading the effort to change the law.

“It’s about convenience, it’s about fairness,” Aguirre said. “It’s an antiquated law and we’re hearing from consumers that they are ready for a change.”

She rejects the argument that a change in the law will put mom-and-pop stores out of business.

“We see this in Glendale. The King Soopers there sells liquor and there are 79 liquor stores within a two-mile radius and they’re still thriving,” she said.

Your Choice Colorado will kick off the initiative Wednesday.
