community as standards are applicable to the license that will
reduce potential impacts and avoid the potential for an
attractive nuisance being established. By adding alcoholic
beverages to other items offered at the store, Super King
Market can better serve the community by providing added
convenience and a one stop shopping experience.

particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or general
welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity.

stability or future economic development of properties surrounding
