REQUEST FOR CLASS P LIQUOR LICENSE
ALDI, INC. D/B/A/ALDt'S FOOD STORE
730 EAST RAND ROAD
On Tuesday, November 11, 2003, the Village Manager met with Mr. Mauro Bustos,
District Manager and Mr. John Skrzypinski, Aldi's Store Manager, to discuss Aldi
corporate's request for a Class P Liquor License (sale of packaged beer and wine only)
for use in conjunction with the currently operating grocery store at 730 East Rand Road.
AIdi's operates a 14,000 square foot grocery store on an outlot next to the Menard's
Home Center. Aldi's leases the facility from Menard's.
Earlier this year, Aldi's made a corporate decision to add the sale of packaged beer and
wine to its product offerings. They are currently seeking Liquor Licenses for all of their
North American stores. As a side note, Aldi's European operation is one of the largest
purveyors of beer and wine in Europe. Atdi's currently operates Monday through
Saturday each week. No renovations to the existing store are planned. Per corporate
policy, all store managers receive Basset training. Corporate policy will also require that
all purchasers of beer and wine be checked for age; not just those who appear to be
under 21.
The Village Manager discussed at length with Messrs. Bustos and Skrzypinski the
Village's particular sensitivity regarding the sale of alcohol to minors as well as sales to
clearly intoxicated persons. Both indicate that they had read the Village's Liquor Code
and understood all of its requirements. The Village Manager also indicated that all
employees of the establishment were held to the same level of accountability regarding
Liquor Code requirements and that the transgression of a single employee, no matter
how unintentional, would result in stiff sanctions imposed by the Village.
he appropriate application along with fees and required paperwork have been
submitted. Appropriate Officers and Managers are currently submitting to background
checks and fingerprinting. Insurance certificates are forthcoming.
Should the Village Board consider the request favorably, an Ordinance creating a new
Class P License would be necessary.
