The Strip Sues LUBBOCK


KCBD lubbock Channel 11 is reporting that the Strip is still trying to defeat the alcohol ordiance by making shit up.
judge granted a temporary restraining order against the city just before five o'clock Monday.

Two of Lubbock County's largest alcohol vendors say a city ordinance dealing with the potential placement of packaged stores if fatally flawed.

Majestic Liquor Stores Incorporated, owner of Crossed-Keys, Doc's, Double-T, the Cellar and Pinkie's inc. filed the lawsuit against the city of Lubbock and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.

The companies claim that the city zoned alcohol in such a way that it unfairly discriminates. A Lubbock judge granted their request for a restraining order that prevents the city from granting alcohol applications.

The plaintiffs are further seeking to have the ordinance declared void.

Newschannel 11 is looking into this lawsuit and has contacted the parties involved.


What is the purpose of the strip when its a duopoly, Majestic owns all of the big stores out at the strip except Austin's Corner, and that's it. Seeking to have the ordinance declared void, this dirty ass city would grant this proposal if they lost the vote that would declare it legal to sell alcohol within the city limits. OK it might be unfair, but not more than the strip charging 15% more than any other city. Whats the Fatal flaw that you would close, so sad.
