§ 8.20.440. Import-wholesale—Qualifications in connection with premises.

No import-wholesale alcoholic liquor license shall be issued to any person who does not meet the following qualifications in connection with his premises licensed as his principal place of business:

(a)

Maintains warehouse and office space either owned or leased by him or dedicated to his use in a public warehouse and the space is sufficient to store at one time either:

(1)

A stock of distilled spirits equal to ten percent or more of his annual gross volume of distilled spirits sales to retailers within this state, or

(2)

A stock of distilled spirits whose cost of acquisition is fifty thousand dollars or more; and

(b)

Sells distilled spirits to retailers generally rather than a selected few retailers. The stock of distilled spirits herein required shall be owned by him, not held on consignment and not acquired pursuant to a prior agreement to sell it to a specific licensee or licensees. A wholesaler who sells to twenty-five percent of retailers in Clark County, or a wholesaler whose total volume of sales of distilled spirits to retailers during any twelve-month period consists of fifty percent or more of individual sales in quantities of ten cases or less shall be conclusively presumed to be selling to retailers generally.
