Dear Mr. Riemann:
Your request for temporary authority in regards to the above-reference liquor license is denied.
Temporary authority cannot be granted when a liquor license is being transferred to a new
location.
You may continue to purchase and sell beer and wine at the currently licensed location (220
Avenue South). However, you cannot purchase or sell beer and wine at the 413 4th Street S.E.,
Suite A/B location until your application for a transfer of location has been approved by the
Deparbment of Revenue.
Should you have any questions, please call me.
Sincerely,
