ISSUE
The liquor license application has been made by Thompsons Fireside Pizza II, Inc. who will be the
operators of Fireside located at 3410 15& Street West. Fireside will be located in the Rosemount Market
Square Mall. The application was accompanied by the necessary liquor liability insurance, workers
compensation insurance, lease agreement with Rosemount Properties, LLC and investigation fees.
The Police Department conducted a background check of the applicants and investigated their other
business held in Minnesota. There were no violations of liquor laws found to have occurred at other
licensed establishment owned by the applicants. The applicant owns and operates a Fireside Pizza in the
City of Richfield and has owned that business for approximately 15 years. In addition to having no liquor
law violations at that location there have not been any police calls for service issues either. It should be
noted however, that the Richfield location only holds a 3.2 malt liquor and wine license while the
Rosemount location will hold a full on -sale license and a bar area is included in the business. Based upon
information learned in the background investigation, staff does not believe the license should be denied.
Building Department staff is waiting on the architect to provide some additional revisions to plans. At this
time, no building permit has been issued for the interior remodel. A demolition has been applied for and
issued. The liquor license will not be issued until the applicants receive a Certificate of Occupancy for the
restaurant from the Chief Building Official.
Kadie Johnson will serve as the General Manager for Fireside. She has prior experience managing
restaurants with liquor licenses. Ms. Johnson and other representatives from Fireside will be in attendance
at the meeting to provide more information about the bar, restaurant and plans for day -to -day operations.
SUMMARY
Staff recommends approval of the above - stated motion.
