I have the capability, reliability and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:
“I am a law abiding and respectful citizen of the United States pursuing my dream of opening a pub in a great community. I have worked hard to provide for my family and other than a couple of speeding tickets in my twenties, have never had any issue with the law. I have worked for two large companies, FedEx for 10 years and Coca-Cola for 11 years. I have been promoted for my hard work with both companies and left on great terms. I also raised my daughter who is now 24 and is graduating from college and holds down multiple jobs.”
The public convenience requires and the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because:
“It is my intent to support local organizations like the firemen and policemen's fund. Additionally, we have reached out to Little Rascal's rescue as well as a local organization that helps individuals suffering with R.A to discuss fund raising support for both of those local charities. We also use a local business as our payroll company and will support local as often as we can with our vendors and distributors.”
