Council Report 2008-038
Aprove Liquor Licenses and tobacco license for A-Du Enterprises, LLC, DBA Best
Buy Liquor Warehouse, 808 Mainstreet
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Approve a new off-sale liquor
license, renew the same off-sale liquor license for the year 2008/2009 and approve a
tobacco license for the year 2008/2009 for A-Du Enterprises, LLC DBA Best Buy Liquor
Warehouse, 808 Mainstreet, Hopkins and waive the fee of $200.00 for the new license,
Overview
Roy Nguyen and Dan Sy Liu, owners of Best Buy Liquor Warehouse, currently located
at 812 Mainstreet, are in the process of purchasing the building next door to their
current location. Because they are changing the location of the business, State Statute
considers them to be a new license.
Mr. Nguyen and Mr. Liu plan to be open at the new location on June 30, 2008. This is
the last day of the current license year. They hold a license at their current location that
expires at midnight on June 30th. Because the license is for one day only and because
they have paid for a license that would cover that date, staff is recommending that the
City waive the fee. The renewal fee is $200.00 for the 2008/2009 license year and the
tobacco license for the same time period is also $200.00. The total fee theywould pay
is $400.00.
The police have found no reason to deny. The report did not show a liquor violation. A
certificate of insurance showing liquor liability has been received.
