I've heard that one store / one owner deal too.  I heard that Parkhill's South (at 101st & Memorial just north of the QT) is owned by Mrs. Parkhill, not Mr. (Fred?) Parkhill to keep it legal.

And Parkhill's son is a wholesaler, on the paperwork.

Oh I get it. We love the law so much that we skirt it. That makes since.

While I`m only a modest consumer of beer (~1.5 per week) I haven`t purchased beer in an Oklahoma liquor store/ grocery since 2006.

I thought it was the daughter?  In any event, what other business in Okla. is limited to one location?  Why do we want to stiffle success and the benefits of purchasing power at the retail level yet let the state get carved in half between two primary distributors?

I've been told the "one store per person" thing is to keep large companies from coming in and buying several locations and stifling competition.  Yes, we still have competition stifled all to Hell.

The distributors are crushing us.

Exactly!  Let's prevent little monopolies on the retail level while we protect a monopoly on the wholesale level.

I've actually come up with a great solution to our archaic laws: move out of state.  One of these days.... Wink

And that's the big missing link in all these discussions. How much tax revenue are we losing? We have quotes from liquor store owners saying nobody's complaining. They're probably doing their complaining at the out of state liquor stores.

I'm looking forward to stocking my shelves with at least $100 worth of good fall/winter beers in the coming weeks. All of that tax will be going to the state of Missouri.

That is funny all my money goes to Texas right now, granted that would not change if the laws did, however it would when in Tulsa if our laws change.

 With a healthy meal and in moderation alchohol has proven health benefits.

Food addictions and "abuse" kill 8-10 times more people in Oklahoma than alchohol addictions and abuse.

Lets ban all restaurants, eating establishements, and grocers within 300 feet of Churches and not allow them to be open on Sundays.

And require all church parking to be at least 1/4 mile from the church.  That will allow the "saved" to come back to earth before trying drive their car.

Just avoid the ones who went through the communion line three times.

And the task force disbands.
Quote
OKLAHOMA CITY - After hearing dire predictions that more crime and drunkenness would accompany broader availability of wine and strong beer in the state, a legislative task force studying that idea folded Thursday.
