Below is a Statement of Support to deny the request of the proposed liquor application for a 24 hour 7-11 Convenience Store at 2202 Alpine Boulevard in Alpine
The statements can be presented at the Alpine Community Planning Group meeting on July 26th at 6pm
**We can only stop the building of the 7-11 by stopping it from obtaining the liquor license. It will only come to town if it has its complete line of products which includes beer and wine. No beer and wine – no 7-11. That is why stopping the liquor license is so important to stop.
Statement of Support to DENY APPLICATION
As residents, community members and business owners in Alpine, we take pride in a safe, friendly, community-oriented neighborhood and we believe the proliferation of stores selling alcohol, jeopardizes the health, safety and welfare of our citizens, our youth and our community at large. We, the undersigned, are asking for your support in our efforts to protect our children and families and to preserve our quality of life in Alpine. Specifically, we request your serious consideration to deny the request of the proposed liquor application for a 24 hour 7-11 Convenience Store at 2202 Alpine Boulevard in Alpine. This proposed retail outlet is not compatible with neighborhood character. The proposed store is located near youth sensitive areas, residential areas, next door to a church and near other facilities serving young people. Please note, according to the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, Census tract 0212.05, where the proposed 7-11 would be located, indicates only (11) alcohol licenses are allowable, whereas this tract already has (24) existing total licenses. Two liquor stores selling wine, beer and distilled spirits are in the immediate area, including one located across the street from the proposed 7-11 store location. Other nearby businesses already sell similar goods and services. 7-11 does not provide a unique type of goods or services. Therefore this liquor license application is not needed for public convenience and necessity.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE….are you that are against this, LOBBYISTS for the other two liquor stores who don’t want the competition?? Just wondering.
Don’t use the alchohol as an excuse to stop this from being built, Many vacationers who drive through the town, like the convienince of a ‘convienience’ store open all night….you can get food,..you can buy coffee. …this is sad, and I am sure it will be compliant with the theme of the mountain regions….lots of nice retail stores and JOBS TOO
Everyone needs to show up at the planning group meeting if you want this stopped!
If I wanted to live in El Cajon or Lakeside I’d live there! The McDonalds is already an eyesore and hasn’t even been completed yet. Why not an IN-N-OUT rather than a cheap-o dive that will attract kids & graffiti. How many desert rats and river rats would happily pull off for quality In-n-Out bringing in more revenue for our town? Who made this brilliant decision?B?? Not Me! Buy a clue Alpine, it’s getting too late!!
We don’t need “Another” conveince store in Alpine….. No Alcohol No Store Indeed. STOP 7-11.
The information regarding who to return the petitions to is at the bottom of the petition. I believe it is the Alpine Historical Society.
where and when do the petitions need to be returned to?
We are DEFINATELY opposed for a request of a liquor license of the proposed 7 Eleven. Why can’t this town come together and do something for the kids, as in a park or other community activities promoting healthy choices. Most of what we have are liquor stores and fast food places. There is nothing that makes Alpine unique, certainly not Another liquor store and 7-Eleven. We are going down the wrong road here.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely, Myra Thompson-Bull
DO NOT have false hope that the liquor license will stop the 7-11! If you don’t want a 24hr 7-11 for other reasons your voice is STILL IMPORTANT! We don’t need a 7-11 period. Liquor or not!
