Board questions manager about operations at United Grocery Outlet No. 17; no recorded vote
Summary
An applicant for United Grocery Outlet No. 17 answered questions from the Beer Board about experience, ID checks and store hours. The transcript records the Q&A and staff instructions about permit pickup but shows no formal roll‑call vote on this application.
The Shelbyville Beer Board took testimony from Edward H. Sturman Jr., the manager representing United Grocery Outlet No. 17 at 108 Lehi Parkway, and reviewed operational practices the business will adopt if granted a beer permit.
Sturman was sworn and said he had reviewed the payrolls and the relevant ordinance and that he had not previously held a beer permit in Shelbyville. He described past retail experience, saying, “My personal experience is, probably 25 years ago when I worked at Meijer up north.”
Board members asked whether the store’s point‑of‑sale system requires a purchaser’s birthdate for beer sales; Sturman said the register does not currently require that entry. The board discussed the recommended practice of ID checks and confirmed that the applicant is the manager rather than the property owner. Sturman described proposed hours of operation and acknowledged that Sunday beer sales would be constrained by the city’s ordinance (no sales until 10 a.m.).
Staff told the applicant permit pickup is available at City Hall after 10 a.m. The transcript does not record a formal motion or roll‑call vote for the United Grocery Outlet application.
