After inquiring, we have found that Many in the area are pleased t~at we are opening our business her2. Please find attatched a copy of a peti t ion circulated among the area businesses expressing their approval o f our intended business. We also feel that the area will be growing and developing in the near future. At present, there are several vacant lots in the vicinity awaiting development. We feel our deli will provide service not only for businesses already located there, but those which will exist in the future. We believe that the location of our deli would be con- venient to those in our area. The distance they must travel to purchase lunch would be reduced, as well as the time and effort involved. Our business will also contribute to the ecor.omy of your city. Not only will we be taxnayers, but we wili also be providing several local jobs. Additionally, we do not feel our deli will significantly affect the two other delis alread} in the arP.a . We are not in the ilTIIlediate vicinity of either ; on the contra~y, the nearest one is over a half-mile away. Our intended customers are those persons who do r.ot patronize these other delis ~ecause of the distance they Must travel to get there and the time it takes. Our intention is to provide a convenient and er0nornical alternative. @ • Pa~e 2 These are seve ral r easons why we think you should allow us to open o ur d ~li in your area.
