Applicant’s Statement
The applicant submitted the following statement in support of this application. Spelling, grammar and punctuation in the statement are shown exactly as written by the applicant on the City Questionnaire.
I have the capability, reliability and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:
“My wife and I have been working in the restaurant industry for several years. We are law abiding Arizona US citizens and have already attended the Basic and Management Liquor Law training to ensure we are in compliance with all State, City and County laws and ordinances. We have begun to create our own company policy to ensure our employees follow our rules which are more strict than State Liquor Laws. We are a restaurant so we will not be serving 50 ounces of beers as the law states. It will be less.”
The public convenience requires and the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because:
“This is a popular sushi restaurant known to the local community. The neighborhood has expressed their desire to have a sushi restaurant at this location to meet the needs of the community. The service of the alcoholic beverages is only to compliment the service of our food. We are looking forward to building a close relationship with the neighborhood and other local business.”
