A 3371 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits sale of certain alcoholic beverages at convenience stores.

This bill amends New Jersey law to allow convenience stores to sell alcoholic beverages by revising licensing rules for plenary retail consumption licenses. It permits stores to sell alcohol only if they also offer snacks (like chips or nuts) and nonalcoholic beverages as accessories, while complying with state regulations from the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Municipalities would set annual license fees between $250 and $2,500. This directly affects convenience store owners seeking to expand sales to include alcohol under specific conditions.
