Hy-Vee plans to deliver alcohol to doorsteps in Omaha and Lincoln as it seeks to expand its grocery delivery service by opening a new fulfillment center in Sarpy County.

But the head of the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission has some questions for the Des Moines-based grocery store chain before it starts delivering six-packs and booze.

Bruce Bailey, the chairman of the three-member liquor board, said that among the questions are how will Hy-Vee delivery people check to make sure buyers are old enough to purchase alcohol?

Overall, Bailey said he'd like to see the convenience of beer and liquor deliveries, and it appears state law allows it, "but there's some issues we have to work through."

On Wednesday, the Liquor Commission was presented Hy-Vee’s plan to begin providing deliveries of alcohol. The commission asked the firm to craft a memorandum of understanding of how they would handle such deliveries.
