I have the capability, reliability and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:

“There us no school nearby my store. People who live in the neighborhood have depended Foodway Market for years to purchase Beer and Wine beverages. We have no violations with liquor department and have maintained a good relationship with neighborhood association. (Deok Lee has been working since 2002.) Residents don't have to go far for their Beer and Wine needs especially in this crisis when stay home order has been issued.”
