My guess is:

1. Meta tags. You probably have “Alva, Oklahoma’s best liquor store” in your meta tags. Well, maybe not that exact quotation, but something similar.
2. Yelp. Placing your liquor store on Yelp not only gives you another channel for people to find you, but it also gives you some link love from Yelp.
3. Google +/Local. You probably registered your site with the address of the liquor store, which means that it will come up with the pretty map and other structured data.

Even though it’s now three years old, this is an excellent podcast on local search engine marketing. I imagine many of the rules still apply. http://automatemysmallbusiness.com/local-search-and-marketing-bye-bye-yellow-pages-hello-21st-century-advertising/
