Obtaining a liquor license in Florida is definitely a topic of great interest to the majority of individuals, as most entrepreneurs have discovered that doing business in the world of restaurants and bars is impossible without serving alcohol. There is only one problem. What if you were not necessarily running a restaurant? What if your business was in fact a store? Currently under the Florida law groceries are not allowed to sell hard liquor, which is both inconvenient for buyers, as well as highly unprofitable for owners. So, what can one do to change this reality? You might want to take a peak at what is going on with important corporations such as Walmart and Target.
Apparently, these two very important names on the retail field have decided that changes in the liquor law are needed. On their side rests the public’s opinion or this is what the PR department allows you to understand. Given the newly released video, buyers find it simpler to buy everything they are in need of from a single store, everything from groceries to alcohol. It is true that with a specific liquor license in Florida, you can sell beer and wine, but not hard liquor. This has to be distributed in a completely separate retail store, hence the inconvenience. Coming back to the video released, it seems that important corporations like the ones mentioned are firm believers that a change in this law is necessary. Apparently, the public shares this view completely. Even though there were plenty of individuals rather skeptical about this entire movement, it seems that the video had a greater impact than expected. The demand is simple: hard liquor like vodka or gin should be allowed in grocery stores just like wine and beer. You might ask yourself why the government hesitates. Well, even though some might say that it is just for sake of image, as in the end the demand will be granted, there are a few good reasons that might make the officials analyze the requests in great detail. Apparently, allowing hard liquor to enter grocery stores would increase the theft risk. Also, it would offer buyers, under the age of 21, access to strong beverages, thus exposing them to potential risks.
Also, making this change would contradict the term of the new modifications made in the case of the Liquor Legislature, changes that take great interest in alcohol abuse cases. However, this battle is far from being over. In fact, it has only started. Apparently, there is another video on the way, having the same purpose, which is convincing the Government that maintaining the separation between the types of alcohol is no longer suitable for society. Thus, one should definitely keep an open eye on the manner in which this problem will develop. Big corporations can be responsible for big changes, there is no doubt about it. So who knows? Perhaps they will succeed and all stores will be allowed to distribute hard liquor in the same establishment with beer and wine.
