American Multi -Cinema, Inc. (AMC) has applied for an on -sale intoxicating liquor license to sell beer and wine at the Mounds View 15 Theater. In addition, they are also requesting a Class B Restaurant License and an Amusement Device License (Dean Superior Vending is the applicant). Public hearings are not required for these two licenses, however, City Council approval is required. Discussion: As you know, New Vision Theaters was the previous operator of the Mounds View 15 Theater. The business did not reopen after its closure due to the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020. The business was sold to AMC, Inc. who opened its door for business on Friday August 6, 2021. The previous business was issued a license to sell alcoholic beverages on site for enjoyment during a movie. AMC too is requesting a liquor license to sell beer and wine behind a counter for patrons to bring to their seats. AMC, Inc. has submitted all required liquor license application materials and fees (which includes Sunday Sales and an optional 2:00 a.m. liquor license). Currently their hours of operation are 4:00-8:00 p.m., however, they are looking to expand their hours as they continue to hire and monitor the COVID-19 situation with late night release times scheduled once things get back to normal, hence the optional 2:00 a.m. liquor license. Also, the Certificate of Insurance provided expires 01/22/2022 so we are working with the applicant to get a certificate that continues through the entire license period, 06/30/2021. A public hearing notice was published in the August 3, 2021 edition of the Shoreview Press and notices mailed to property owners located within 350 feet of the theater property. A Class B Restaurant License is required due to their extended menu (attached). These foods items are prepared and served on site for patrons to either sit at a table in an open area near the concessions or bring back to their seats. Ramsey County Environmental Health conducted an inspection of the concession area and a food service license was issued. As in previous years, an amusement device license for this site is being requested. Dean Superior Vending is the applicant and is requesting a license to provide 17 various machines that will be located in a small arcade room adjacent to the concession area. Games will
