'd <br />TO: Orono City Council <br />FROM: Joan Lattin, Assistant Finance Director <br />DATE: February 7, 1985 <br />SUBJECT: Wine In Grocery Stores Resolution <br />4J...b'�. Mk��Gllwa <br />FEB 111985 <br />I have attached a resolution opposing Wine In Grocery Store <br />Legislation. Should the Minnesota %egislature pass legislation <br />allowing wine in the grocery stores it could erode the profits of <br />both municipal and private off -sale stores. <br />The wine sales represent 25% of the total gross sales at the <br />Orono store and the margin of profit on wine is 35%. whereas <br />liquor is 27► and beer 26%. The sale of wine in the grocery <br />stores would reduce the net profit of the Orono Liquor Store. <br />
