I have the capability, qualifications, and reliability to hold a liquor license because: "We are law abiding individuals who would like to provide a restaurant service to the neighborhood. My wife and I will both be operating the restaurant and will be attending alcohol awareness classes prior to operating with a liquor license. We are excited about our NEW BUSINESS and are happy to be living in Arizona."

 

 

B.

The public convenience requires and the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because: "This location was previously a restaurant serving the needs of the neighborhood. However, we have changed the format of the restaurant so much so that residents have provided us with positive feedback regarding the food and the change from the former ownership which according to our customers had a bad reputation.
