A Stop & Shop in Danvers may soon be selling beer and wine, the latest grocery store to take advantage of a change in state law that allows more supermarkets to carry alcohol.
The Route 1 grocery store's application was cleared by the town's Board of Selectmen earlier this month and must still be approved by the state's Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission.
A spokeswoman for Stop & Shop said it hopes to know for sure by September.
It would be the fourth Stop & Shop location to sell alcohol in the Bay State — joining branches in Hingham, Quincy and Malden — and the first attempt by the Quincy-based company to add more alcohol licenses since a change in state law went into effect in 2012.
Under the new law, grocery stores can increase the number of locations selling booze from three to five. In 2016, that number will grow to seven.
By 2020, grocery stores will be able to stock alcohol at up to nine locations.
A spokesman for Shaw's and Star Market couldn't say whether the supermarket has any current plans filed to add liquor licenses beyond the three locations in Cambridge, Franklin and at the Prudential in Boston, where it already sells alcohol.
A spokesman for Market Basket did not return a call seeking comment.
