It means that, if the Schnapp Shop didn't exist and a new store at that location tried to get a liquor license, it wouldn't be granted. But the existing store was grandfathered in because it acquired a liquor license before the current laws went into effect (in the '70s, I believe. The law probably doesn't allow liquor stores in completely residential areas like the Schnapp Shop anymore.
I don't think the closures are a done deal -- there will probably be public hearings about it, if you're interested. jf On Jun 23, 2012, at 11:55 AM, judy wrote: > The 'Patch' listed the Schnapp shop as one of the liquor stores to be sold. > The schnapp shop is older than me.
