You don't have to move your car though, and you could also go to the Food Pyramid (former Albertson's) next door.
That is how the liquor stores next to the Costco's here in Austin are setup, other than sharing a parking lot and sharing a couple of common walls (with no doors connecting the spaces) there is no connection to Costco other than paying rent for the space. That was what the owner of the one at the South Austin "Costco" liquor store told me, the north side store is owned by another local guy renting space from Costco.

To me that is not "getting around the law" that is nothing more than operating legally within the framework of the law. Liquor stores locate in strip centers all the time and more than one are close to a 7-11 or some other store and many times you will see the same person going into both getting various items that go together, that is the ridiculous part about the Oklahoma law, not allowing them to sell cold beer or "accessories".
