At the recent Monmouth City Council meeting, there was a request for a liquor license to have video gaming at County Market, informs Communications Director Ken Helms:
“The vendor, who is actually a vendor for the gaming machine company, did a really nice job at presenting it. Some of the other locations that they have put them up with Niemanns Foods, they had some pictures, Council had a few different follow up questions regarding the revenue and how this would look in County Market. In the end, that did not pass. Council had a couple of different thoughts regarding the use of gaming machines in a grocery store and right now they chose not to grant them the liquor license.”
Helms informs in the State of Illinois; a place of business must obtain a specific ‘pour liquor license’ in order to
have video gaming machines.
