Gurnee Village Board rejects Casey's gas station's application for a liquor license, but approves a license for tobacco and alternative nicotine products.
Just over a year after Gurnee approved the idea of liquor license s for gas station s, it denied its second applicant for one, Casey’s, at Monday’s Village Board meeting.
“They talked to us about wanting to be able to have alcohol in them as well,” he continued. “In taking that into consideration, we decided that we did not want to preclude the village of Gurnee from having these types of stores in town.” “We’re speaking to the character, reputation and the identity of our community,” he said. “If you look at other communities that are unlike Gurnee, they have a liquor store on pretty much every corner. Maybe they have to because they need the revenue.
“Casey’s has been a super-sensitive project for all of us,” Hood said. “It’s been asked of me more times than I care to remember, ‘Would you like to have Casey’s across from your front yard?’ And the answer is no, I would not.” While the gas station was denied a liquor license, the board did approve an amendment to its municipal code which will allow Casey’s to receive a tobacco and alternative nicotine products license.
