In South Carolina, groceries and convenience stores sell beer and wine — but not spirits, and Sunday beer and wine sales exist only in counties and cities that passed a local-option permit. Spirits are sold only in "red dot" retail liquor stores, which may sell no food or merchandise, open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and may never open on Sunday.
