Summary

Liquor Store Manager Scott Olson reported August was down slightly but year-to-date sales remained within $5,000 of 2024; non-alcohol products now account for about 3% of sales and any decision to sell THC products would require council action and likely store changes.

Liquor Store Manager Scott Olson told the council that August sales were "down slightly; year to date within $5,000 of 2024," and that non-alcohol products appear likely to exceed previous years and now account for roughly 3% of total sales. Olson said the new product line includes alternatives such as an alternative rum, gin, whiskey, vodka and a dessert-type product.

Councilmember Liz Stone asked whether the non-alcoholic product category includes THC items; Olson said no. Administrator Angel Weasner added that any decision to sell THC products would come to the council for review and that the store currently lacks space to add those items without a remodel or extension.
