Council approves on-sale wine and 3.2% malt liquor license for Keichi Mac at 6420 Nicollet Ave.

After a public hearing on July 22, 2025, the Richfield City Council approved a new on-sale wine and 3.2% malt liquor license for SK Food LLC, doing business as Keichi Mac, located at 6420 Nicollet Avenue South.

Council Member Coleman Woods read the executive summary and reported that all required application materials and fees had been received, real estate taxes were current, and proof of commercial and liquor-liability insurance had been provided. He said, "the public safety director has reviewed the background investigation report and found nothing that would cause the denial of the requested licenses." The public hearing received no public speakers, and the council closed the hearing and voted to approve the license by voice vote.

The approval is conditioned by the licensing discipline outlined in Resolution No. 9511, which had been provided to the applicant. Because this is a new on-sale wine and 3.2% malt liquor license at that location, an accountant’s food-or-alcohol-ratio statement was not required under local rules referenced in the executive summary.

Why it matters: The license authorizes on-site sale of wine and low-alcohol malt beverages for the specified business at the Nicollet Avenue address. The council recorded no objections during the hearing and the public safety investigation raised no basis for denial.

The council welcomed the new business to the community following the vote.
