>They won’t build a Costco here because they can’t sell alcohol.

Multiple locations in Massachusetts would disagree with that assessment. MA didn't start allowing beer and wine in some grocery stores until the last decade. Hell, the first attempt with a ballot question failed spectacularly.

Costco still had like 5 stores open in MA. Alcohol sales will make it more enticing cause they can make more money but Costco can still do just fine without it.

Costco actually helped change the liquor laws in Washington state so they could sell liquor through their stores. It could happen here too!

I really don’t have a huge problem with the status quo, tbh. Maybe it’s growing up with it but it’s not that huge of an inconvenience

Fair, I’m a sucker for the liquor store that’s got a list of people not to take checks from prominently displayed.
