Regular City Council Meeting AND <br /> Board of Adjustments and Appeals <br /> Monday,July 23, 2012 <br /> Page 55 <br /> through restrictions on radii as other cities have done. Mr. Roston reiterated <br /> that their request of the City Council tonight was simply to determine if the <br /> Council was open to pursuing these options. Mr. Roston opined that it made <br /> sense from their perspective, however, they needed to know if it made sense <br /> from the City's perspective as well before moving forward. Mr. Roston provid- <br /> ed a handout on World Market Cost Plus operations, attached hereto and made a <br /> part hereof. <br /> Councilmember Johnson noted the various options available, based on his re- <br /> search and discussions while performing that due diligence, and suggested that <br /> this provided an edge for their market area. Councilmember Johnson opined <br /> that of the City's ten (10) license holders, he considered three as large facilities <br /> (e.g. Rainbow, MGM, Wine Cellars) and the remaining seven (7) as having <br /> stores with a fairly small footprint and sales volume. Councilmember Johnson <br /> opined that he considered World Market to have some grandfathered rights in <br /> Roseville; and expressed his appreciation in their willingness to relocate in Ro- <br /> seville. Councilmember Johnson asked their representatives if they considered <br /> themselves a large or small seller and the amount of volume their wine and beer <br /> sales represented in their overall merchandising total. <br /> Mr. Feldt responded that they considered themselves a small retailer, and their <br /> business model was to only sell beer and wine from around the world, and as an <br /> enhancement to the foods sold from those areas.

Mr. Feldt reiterated their commitment to <br /> return to health, and expressed their pleasure in returning to those markets. Mr. <br /> Feldt noted that the Roseville store had significant volume in the past, one of the <br /> largest small specialty stores in the region. Mr. Feldt noted that it was common <br /> for them to incubate or generate entrepreneurial businesses until they became <br /> large enough or had enough of a presence to spin off on their own. <br /> Mayor Roe questioned whether World Market had attempted to purchase one of <br /> the existing ten (10) licenses. <br /> Ms.Ann Maranti, Cost Plus <br /> Ms. Maranti advised that they had attempted to contact existing license holders, <br /> using a list provided by staff. However, to-date, Ms. Maranti advised that they <br />
