Our History

We remember when Broadway was a dirt road and the kids played in the fields that are now the new, burgeoning North Boulder neighborhoods. While the store has been in our family for nearly 40 years, North Boulder Liquor has been serving wine, beer and spirits to Boulder County neighbors since 1939.

Originally founded by Dick Jones, the store hasn’t moved locations for all these years. Under the new brick façade, the original wooden structure Jones built still stands. We often wonder what if these walls could talk?

Dubbed as “a Coloradan of rugged mining stock,” the second owner of North Boulder Liquor was Bauldie Moschetti who bought the business in 1942. Ownership changed hands only once more in 1959 when Bill Miller became the owner. Since then, the Conis family has been committed to holding up a history of personal service and long-standing value. We often say we’ve got 40 years of deals and experience for our Boulder customers.

Through all the history and change, what’s remained consistent all these years is the close-knit neighborhood connection.
