Seating for the in-store restaurant at a <PERSON>'s convenience store in Columbus, Ind., Thursday, March 23, 2017. After the chain's lawyers realized the in-store restaurants qualified for cold beer sales, this <PERSON>'s location and one in Sheridan, Ind., obtained the required licenses to serve cold beer to patrons for consumption in the restaurant or to-go. The Columbus location also sells liquor for consumption outside of the restaurant. To many in the liquor store industry, <PERSON>'s use of this loophole seems like an attempt to cut into an area that has previously been domain of liquor stores, which are subject to additional regulations.
