0 <br />The Station <br />2884 County Rd I <br />Mounds View, MN <br />TO: Mayor, Council Members, and City Staff <br />RE: Proposed Kwik Trip in Mounds View <br />I am writing to you today in regards to the proposed Kwik Trip to be built on County Rd 10, <br />across from Moe's Supper Club. My concern is that I don't think Mounds View can support <br />another convenience store in the area.. There are four convenience stores right now in Mounds <br />VieW. My reasoning is simply: <br />1. There was a Standard gas/convenience store where CVS is now and they could not <br />make it. <br />2. Phillips 66 store where the vacant Snyder's store is. (Mounds View couldn't even <br />support two drug stores!) <br />3. There was a Clark store where the car dealership is now on Hwy 10. <br />4. On the proposed Kwik Trip site there was an Oasis Market convenience store that was <br />so runned down, canopy falling down, closed up. The city bought the property with <br />taxpayer's money. <br />5. - There is a BP across from the Mermaid that I believe will be boarded up, if you allow <br />the Kwik Trip to go in. Is the city going to buy that property also with taxpayers money? <br />Lastly, I would like to say, that I am glad I do not live on Edgewood Drive behind the proposed <br />site. Their property values are going to go down. They are going to be bothered by the <br />constant noise and lighting, as typically Kwik Trip stores are open 24/7, and have not one but <br />two car washes. How would you like a gas station/convenience store in your front yard? <br />I think the City Council could come up with a better use for that property than a fifth <br />gas/convenience store. - <br />Since <br />Leon M Theis <br />Owner, The Station <br />
