I mentioned this in one of <br />the emails to Chuck because he said that he would expect the council to discuss my comments and reasons for not <br />allowing another liquor store in town and why the City needs to get rid of all the rest of the off sale licenses except for <br />the two that are current right now. Let me know if this something that you can do. Talk to you later. Have a great day!!! <br />Thank You, <br />Terry Sager <br />From: shipping <br />Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2017 10:04 AM <br />To: 'charles haas' <br />Cc: Bryan Bear; philklein7@msn.com <br />Subject: RE: ANOTHER LIQUOR STORE <br />Chuck, thank you for responding I really appreciate it. The other things I forgot to say in my email is what makes it more <br />difficult is that majority of our community leaves Hugo to go to work so they pass by plenty of liquor stores every day <br />before and after work so we also compete with that and not just the stores in our town and when you are talking a <br />community with a population of 14000 people and 1 out of 5 households drink so that only leaves approximately 2800 <br />households in our community to support our business which is not very many, that is why it is as tough as it is with the <br />cut throat margins starting with the 3% for credit card fees and subtract that from the margins I am showing you with <br />beer at 18 — 20%, liquor at 25 — 30% and wine at 40 — 45% and believe me it is not a wine community. I am also speaking <br />this way because I have lived in the community for 17 years and I feel that Rick or myself should of have had the <br />opportunity to open next to Festival before some corporate money was allowed to open and made life miserable for <br />Rick's liquor and Sagers liquor when the town was doing just fine with the two small businesses that worked very hard <br />when Hugo was just a dot between White Bear Lake and Forest Lake. Please really consider what I have shared with you <br />and do not allow this store to open and just stick with what we have and get rid of all the other off sale licenses. Chuck, <br />thanks again for responding and hearing me out. I would really hope that you share this at that public hearing because i <br />believe this is information people need to hear so they understand how tough of industry this is. I would love to come <br />and share it but like I told you I have to work my store just to compete with the corporate money at On the Rocks. <br />Thank You, <br />Terry Sager <br />SAGERS LIQUOR <br />From: charles hags[mailto:charles.haas27Cgmaii.com] <br />Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2017 8:58 AM <br />To: shipping <br />Cc: Bryan Bear; <br />Subject: Re: ANOTHER LIQUOR STORE <br />
