7‑Eleven representative says controls, training and limited shelf will limit risks
Summary
Counsel for 7‑Eleven emphasized the store’s long tenure, low share of spirits in display area, existing security measures and willingness to accept conditions such as banning airplane‑size bottles and conducting employee training.
Bruce Evans, representing 7‑Eleven and the franchisee Amin, stressed the operation’s long history at the site and said the company was willing to accept conditions to limit risks from adding distilled spirits.
Evans said the store has been a presence at the location since at least 1988 and the franchisee has worked at the site for more than three decades. He described the spirits offering as a modest, locked, approximately 4‑foot‑wide shelf that would account for “less than 2% of the display area” and offered to accept a condition banning airplane‑size bottles: “we're happy to agree to a condition that makes clear, that no airplane size liquor bottles shall be sold.” Evans also explained 7‑Eleven’s in‑house training and the use of ABC lead‑training modules for staff who will sell alcohol.
