A dozen stores have applied to deliver liquor, beer and alcohol in Prince George’s County, while other businesses have balked at the restrictions now required by the county’s liquor board. A handful of Prince George’s County businesses had made deliveries for decades since the practice became legal in 1947, with little complaint from the community or any problems reported by police or the liquor board. The board took notice only when Potomac Gourmet Market, in National Harbor, sent a letter to the board requesting permission to deliver to tenants in the complex.
Eleven other businesses also have asked the liquor board for a letter of authorization allowing them to make the deliveries. The applicants include a mix of stores looking to deliver alcohol for the first time and owners who have delivered liquor and wine for years, but must now apply to comply with the law.
