Groups Seek Support For Election On Beer, Wine Sales At Richardson Grocery, Convenience Stores

The Richardson Chamber of Commerce and the Richardson Residents for Quality Retail PAC have launched a petition drive to secure signatures from approximately 9,500 registered Richardson voters to hold an election on Nov. 7, 2006, to allow the sale of "beer and wine for off-premise consumption" at Richardson's grocery and convenience stores.

Residents of Richardson who are registered voters can sign petitions at the Chamber's office, 411 Belle Grove Drive, across the street from City Hall, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday beginning May 1 through June 15. Texas Petition Strategies, a consulting firm that specializes in beer and wine sales initiatives, is setting up places for gathering signatures at several grocery stores in the city. Currently, both Krogers, at Belt Line and Coit roads, and at Centennial and Audelia, as well as the Whole Foods, at 101 S. Coit have petitions.

During early voting for the May 13 election, petitions can be signed by signature takers just outside City Hall. On election day, May 13, petitions can be signed at all voter polling places.

Call the Chamber at 972-792-2800 for a list of places to sign the petition, as locations will change during the 60-day drive. For more information, contact Sue Walker at 972-792-2806.
