We have been informed that we need a letter from the County Board of Supervisors before the license application can be processed. per the form we received (original is enclosed herewith). We feel that because of the number of new homes which have been constructed in,the area, (both behind and across from the Cypress Shopping Center), a convenience store at this location is desirable. There are no convenience stores close by. In today's busy life, if Mom just needs milk or bread, she has to go to a Supermarket and stand in line -- or if a traveller wants a pack of cigarettes or a can of soda in the hot summer, supermarket lines can be inconvenient. For all, a convenience store is the answer. For traffic going toward Brentwood, there is no convenience store after Sandy Lane. The closest convenience store is 2 miles away for travelers and for homeowners/tenants, and people who might like to walk to a store. Now I would like to tell you something about our plans. We are planning to open a small (600 sq. ft.) convenience store called "Cigarettes 4 Less". It will be located in the Cypress Shopping Center, 2053 Main Street, Oakley. We will sell beer and wine, but not hard liquor, and we have no plans to add hard liquor at any time in the future. Our small store will carry mostly convenience items. We will run our business professionally -- that is, neat and clean, and will make every effort to keep our customers happy with good service which will make them come to our store often. We will make it a practice that before our employees are allowed to work behind the cash register, they will be thoroughly trained to know and obey all Alcoholic Beverage Control laws. As part of this, we will send- them for training with the Alcoholic Beverage Control Department. For your information, I have recently completed training with the ABC (photo-copy of certificate enclosed). In brief, I can assure you we will comply with all ABC regulations regarding the sale of alcohol. I would really appreciate your prompt issuance of the letter we need so we can submit it to ABC so they can process our application in a timely manner. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me (510) 778-3150.
