Net profits climbed <br />when compared to 2015 as we continue to increase profits <br />within our sales capacity. We continue to recover and <br />show positive gains from 2014 when our market <br />experienced an increase in the number of liquor stores in <br />the metro area. We expect that trend to continue as we <br />believe our customers will realize the benefit of shopping <br />our stores for competitive pricing, large selection, excellent <br />customer service and the fact that our profits stay in the <br />community. We are committed to our Mission and Vision <br />Statements! <br />2017 is expected to see another increase of liquor stores in the metro area. Our staff is committed <br />to maintaining a unique retail environment and researching opportunities to market our stores <br />to drive long term customer loyalty. We will continue to work hard to gain back the “customers <br />through the doors” by providing excellent customer service, product selection, competitive <br />pricing while providing safe, bright and clean stores. <br />Thank you for your support in 2016 and beyond! We look forward to serving our customers and <br />residents where 100% of our profit enriches the community!
