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:
“I am a resident of the State of Arizona, and I serve as the District Manager who, in addition to overseeing multiple Family Dollar stores across the Arizona area, directly oversees all parts of operation for the store this application is made out for. I have no criminal record, and I remain in good moral standing with my community. I am also over 21 years of age.”
The public convenience requires and the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because:
“Family Dollar serves the community as a discount retail/grocery store. Many individuals rely on Family Dollar's price point to obtain the various goods they require while maintaining a personal budget, and extending these lower price points to further products, such as beer and wine, allows the local community to enjoy a healthy level of local sales competition, while also expanding the low-cost available options for items such as beer and wine.”
