TO: Orono C. Council <br />FROM: Joan Lattin, Assistant Finance Director <br />DATE: February 7, 1985 <br />SUBJECT: Wine In Grocery Stores Resolution <br />Fca 1 i �sa5 <br />I have attached a resolution opposing Wire In Grocery Store <br />Legislation. Should the Minnesota Legislature 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 'n the grocery <br />stores would reduce the net profit of the Orono Liquor Store. <br />
