Honestly, I know of what I speak.

The city has all the control it needs through zoning and licensing.

It certainly is not a matter of money and legal representation .

Good luck! Please think long and hard before committing to the location you speak of. Also, make sure your advertising budget is something you don't need to recover quickly. Most people actually in the liquor retail business will tell you it's all about location. Advertising in this industry is expensive compared to the return. Just for giggles, do yourself a favor and check prices and parking in Automobile Alley. Keep us updated!

Let us know whent it goes up. I'll throw a few bucks you way. Also, and this may have already been said, but check out places like Byron's or Joes in Norman. They sell liquor and beer at very competitive prices. Usually 2-4 bucks less per name brand. It's not a huge saver, but subconcsiously you think it's a great deal.

Nice.

I cannot stop laughing at the mental image I have of this.

Liqour stores close at 9. Alot of traffic doesn't come in until after that. That right there is very limiting as far as customers go.

Whoever has a liqour store in bricktown will have to have another business. The liqour store will probably just have to be a side thing for awhile.

And no one has mentioned the other things. When the customer buys the liqour will they have to walk back to their car to put it away because I sure don't think restaraunts will let customers walk in with their own liqour. And when they do take it back to their car do we see an increase in car break-ins (to get the liqour)? And the cops. Do they hang out by the liqour store and harrass patrons?

Liqour stores are too limited right now to support themselves in a high rent area like Bricktown. When Oklahoma gets higher point beer and sells them in the liqour stores then I think you might have a chance. But not now.

Since I'm planning on moving to the area, I'm excited about the idea of being able to pick up a bottle of wine nearby. Easy parking is a necessity, but hopefully there will be enough residents downtown soon to help make this a sucessful operation.

What is wrong with Byrons at 23rd and broadway??

Nothing wrong with competition. As I live downtown, if I needed wine or something, I'd probably go here as it's closer than Byron's.

OKCNDN, I don't think this would be marketing to people that are down there to eat, but mostly to people that live in Deep Deuce, The Centennial, and all the other housing developments going up.
