Some more on the time frame surrounding the series of applications for Class C liquor licenses. Wal-mart's 2004 license application went up before the Liquor Advisory Board and Liquor Control Commission before being denied because there weren't any open licenses and even if there were, granting a license would violate city code because Wal-Mart sold gasoline.
On Jan. 15th, 2008 Wal-Mart submitted another application for a license. This application never went before the LAB or LCC. Instead Wal-Mart received a letter from the city dated Feb 11, 2008, informing the company that there were no Class C licneses available and that the application would be scheduled for review in the event that one became available.
Kroger turned in a similar application on May 1, 2008. Turnaround on this one was even quicker as the city sent out a similar letter to that received by Wal-mart, stating that a hearing would be scheduled in the event a license came available, but this one was dated May 1, 2008, the same date the application was received.
The application from Short Liquors was received by the city on Dec. 12, 2009. The Class C cap was raised on Jan 19 and the license approved the same night.
