WIN FALLS – Daniel Fuchs received the past two liquor licenses awarded in Twin Falls. He’s probably going to get the next one too.

Fuchs put three companies on the state’s waiting list at the same time in 2012. He and his brothers own each of them. While the state forbids a person or company from having their name on the list more than once, it’s OK to list multiple companies with the same ownership.

When the next license becomes available, it’ll bring Fuchs’ total number of liquor licenses in Twin Falls up to four.

But for others who own just one business, the wait for a liquor license can be a long one. The next two applicants on Twin Falls’ waiting list

after Fuchs have also been on it since 2012, but they’ll likely have to wait a few more years to get an offer.

That’s because the state of Idaho restricts the number of liquor licenses a city can supply, and it takes a healthy population boost — an additional 1,500 residents — for a city to permit another establishment.

Fuchs and his brothers got a license for Daniel S Fuchs LLC (Marilyns) in 2016, and a license for K2RED LLC (Pandora’s Legacy) this year. Up next is Danbar LLC, a real estate company.

“This wasn’t a very long wait,” Fuchs said.

Rent, don’t buy HEATHER KENNISON

Hkennison@magicvalley.com‌

‌TWIN FALLS — When the owners of Elevation 486 were considering a location on the canyon rim in 2010, they were somewhat daunted.

Back then, it was kind of off the beaten path, explained Tom Nickel, one of the restaurant’s partners. While he knew the view and good service would eventually bring people, he didn’t know if that would be enough in the short term. But one positive for Nickel and his partners was a guaranteed liquor license that could be leased along with the building.

“I knew from the get-go that there was a liquor license included,” Nickel said. “Had it not included a liquor license, I would have definitely been not as likely to do it.”

He’s continued his lease of the liquor license ever since. It’s paid off, as Elevation spent more than $80,000 on liquor last year, more than any other establishment in Twin Falls.

But selling liquor is “not like it used to be,” Nickel said. “It’s definitely not a slam-dunk anymore.”

With more establishments in the area, more competition exists.

Nickel also owns The Sawtooth Club in Ketchum, which leases its liquor license from its building owner. The Sawtooth Club spent nearly $71,000 on liquor in the 2017 fiscal year, according to state records.

Nickel hasn’t ever owned a liquor license, but he does feel some regret about not getting on the waiting list for one.

“Years and years ago, I should have done that,” he said. “I don’t have the financial wherewithal to buy a license.”

Businesses leasing their liquor licenses still have to follow the same rules as those who own them. Mario Regalado, another of Elevation 486’s partners, has to make sure every bottle he picks up from the state-run liquor store on Pole Line Road has a sticker from the state. That sticker must be destroyed when the bottle is emptied to ensure that smuggled liquor is not used to refill an old bottle.

Regalado picks up his orders from the state-run liquor store every Friday and Monday to stock up and replenish from the weekend.

“Friday and Saturday, between the both nights we probably sell more liquor than the rest of the

What’s most popular right now are local spirits — such as the 44 North Huckleberry Vodka.

While Elevation has never pur-

sued buying its own liquor license or joining a waiting list since opening, Nickel and his partners will soon play the liquor license game once again.

In the spring, they plan to open a brew-pub in the former Historic Ballroom downtown. Nickel hopes the landlord will seek to offer another license for lease.

‘The system is broken’ HEATHER KENNISON

hkennison@magicvalley.com‌

‌TWIN FALLS — Most of the bar owners Chris Hengel knows don’t own their liquor licenses — they lease them.

Twin Falls can issue just 33 liquor licenses throughout the city.

And Hengel, co-owner of Anchor Bistro & Bar, has noticed a prevail-

ing trend: A few families control several of those licenses and crowd out the waiting list for other bars.

Those families, in turn, then lease their licenses out as an investment after two years. Businesses that don’t own a license must choose one of three options: Play the waiting game, pay thousands of dollars to buy a license, or

lease from someone who already owns a license.

“If you see the same family members getting it over and over again, it’s a game,” Hengel said.

“The system is broken.”

The owner of a liquor license can charge whatever a lessee is willing to pay. Anchor Bistro & Bar leases its license for $1,800 per month,

Hengel said. To buy one in Twin Falls, he said, would cost around $125,000.

Having a liquor license not only boosts an establishment’s sales, but also drives up the value of the business and the property, while skyrocketing insurance costs.

The unwritten rule for buyers, co-owner Jacob Pierce said, is to offer the average price of the past three licenses that sold.

Pierce and Hengel bought Anchor Bistro from the previous owner about eight months ago.

And they’ll continue waiting until their city’s population increases enough to support another license.

The good news for future licensees: Idaho’s population is steadily climbing, and businesses don’t hold onto their licenses forever. Each year, Idaho issues or reissues more than 1,000 liquor licenses, and as population grows, the state’s liquor consumption is at an all-time high.

the business, they agreed to lease the liquor license — with an option to buy that, too.

But they were aware of a potential risk: A big company could come along and swipe the license out from under them if it offered big money. So as part of the lease agreement, Anchor Bistro has first right of refusal to buy the license, and only has to pay the average of the last three licenses that sold.

“There’s definitely a demand for liquor licenses,” Hengel said. “I know three or four businesses that would love one right now.”

Anchor Bistro has its alcohol license hanging up above the bar Jan. 18 in Twin Falls.

Reporter Heather Kennison (shown here, left) made her first Idaho bottled liquor purchase at the contract store in Castleford.

Out of curiosity, she also compared some Idaho liquor prices to a couple of places in her home state of Nevada. A 750-millileter bottle of the same kind of Bacardi Superior Rum cost $13.95 plus tax at Pettit’s Country Market in Castleford and at Stateline Liquor in Jackpot, Nev. But at the Walmart in Elko, Nev., it was only $9.53 plus tax.

Ideally, he would like to lease a liquor license rather than buy one. That’s because if legislation brings more exemptions, it would make it easier — and less expensive — for him to get a license later on.

“I don’t want to be in a place where I bought a Ferrari and it’s worth nothing,” he said.

Liquor licenses in the recent past cost around $150,000 in Twin Falls, Auth said, and he readily admits that the price tag

Idaho receives two liquor licenses just for being incorporated. For every additional 1,500 residents the city has, the state allows an extra license. Population estimates are provided annually by the U.S. Census Bureau.

ISP is in charge of managing the licenses for bars. Every year, ISP collects census data and decides by mid-July whether it can offer any more licenses in each city. In Twin Falls last year, K2RED LLC was the only applicant to receive an offer.

Typically, offers are accepted by mid-October, Harvey said.

If a city’s population decreases, so can its number of liquor licenses.

“We don’t take them away,” said Brad Doty, bureau chief for Idaho State Police Alcohol Beverage Control. “If one goes away, we just don’t give it back.”

In other words, if a business lost its license or closed, ISP would not reissue that license if the population no longer supported it.

State code also allows for a specialty liquor license for certain public gathering places. Outside of city limits, a specialty license is the only license available. Convention centers, which must be within the limits of a city that has a population of at least 3,000, can receive a liquor license, but there can be only one per city.

Golf courses and resorts, on the other hand, have no liquor license limit, as long as the state approves each request.

If an offer is rejected, the next business on the waiting list will receive the offer.

To get on the waiting list, you The first step in obtaining a will have to fill out an application liquor license is determining and make a one-time payment of whether your city has a waiting half of the annual liquor license

But it can take a long time to get an offer. Harvey recalled an applicant in Lewiston who died and deeded the spot on the waiting list to his or her children. The children were able to use that license when it was granted years later.

3. Are there liquor licenses up for sale or trade?

Liquor licenses can be traded like an asset. So if someone wants to forego the waiting list, that person can make an offer outright to the owner of an existing license.

How do you know if someone is willing to sell? There are brokers that specialize in those deals, Harvey said. You can even find offers on Craigslist sometimes — but make sure you do your research first.

While business owners can sell their licenses for whatever price they want, 10 percent of the purchase price funnels back to the state.

Licenses can be pretty costly.

Some businesses in Twin Falls estimate licenses now cost anywhere from $125,000 to $200,000. If a business cannot afford to buy one outright, it can opt to lease a license from someone else. The liquor license gets transferred to the lessee for the length of the contract.

There is one other option he could pursue for the long term: As of early January, there were only eight businesses on the Twin Falls waiting list with the Idaho State Police Alcohol Beverage Control.

TWIN FALLS — The move to Twin Falls cost one restaurant its liquor license, but the owner isn’t giving up his quest to obtain one just yet.

Blu, which specializes in modern American cuisine, left the Pebble Ponds Golf Course in Filer in March 2017. Owner and chef Danny Auth said he wanted to move the business to Twin Falls, where 90 percent of his customers already lived.

But he knew it meant he’d lose one of the biggest perks of doing business at a golf course. While Idaho restricts the number of liquor licenses in each city, golf courses are exempt from those limits and can get a liquor license with relative ease.

When Auth began moving Blu’s operations to Twin Falls, there were no liquor licenses available. He looked at his options and approached Daniel Fuchs, whose family controls a number of liquor licenses in town.

“I’ve been hounding him for almost four years now,” Auth said.

But there was no deal. No one else in town would even lease Blu a license, since they were all being used.

The restaurant owner optimistically hoped that an effort to change the liquor code in Idaho would pull through. For a few years, a group of lawmakers have discussed privatizing licenses, Auth said. But privatizing licenses would devalue the investment of anyone who’s already spent thousands of dollars on buying a license.

So lately, it’s been proposed that Idaho extend the specialty licenses to restaurants, instead of

For small towns, liquor stores are a community affair HEATHER KENNISON

Hkennison@magicvalley.com

CASTLEFORD – City Councilwoman Pansy Pettit’s favorite mixed drink? RumChata and root beer.

But for men, she recommends going straight for the Crown Royal. You can find these — and Castleford’s most popular liquor, Black Velvet Whisky — just left of the front door at Pettit’s Country Market.

The Idaho State Liquor Division is the sole importer, wholesaler and retailer of bottled liquor in the state. But remote towns like Castleford, population 237, can’t support a full state-run liquor store. So the division relies on 105 contract stores to sell in outlying areas like Castleford that aren’t served by any of its 65 state-run stores.

For division director Jeff Anderson, it’s a balancing act.

“We try to make sure we’re convenient, but we’re not on every corner,” Anderson said.

Idaho’s control model of liquor management dates back to events of the early 20th century. In 1933, the 21st Amendment repealed Prohibition and gave states the right to regulate alcohol sales.

“Every state regulates alcohol – it’s just how much control they

have in the process,” he said.

In Idaho, beer and wine are an open market, with the state monitoring on-premise consumption only. But liquor is highly regulated.

Even the contract or “agent” stores like Pettit’s Country Market have to keep a meticulous inventory and file annually to renew their contracts. Pettit also has to renew her city, county and state licenses every year.

How it works

In larger cities, the state can decide whether it has the financial ability to lease a building for a state-run liquor store. If a small town wants a liquor store, it first informs the state. The Idaho State Liquor Division will then post a public notice and request for bids, or proposals, from interested businesses.

Pettit, who took over the former Duane’s Market in Castleford in April, said she had to undergo fingerprinting and background checks. Duane’s Market had been the contractor before she’d bought the business, but the change of ownership meant she wasn’t guaranteed to get the contract again.

Her proposal to the state had to include a complete store layout,

plus a map of where the liquor would be inside the store.

“Any other business that wanted to do this could have applied,” Pettit said.

But only one gets selected.

Contractors take in liquor from the state on consignment, so stores don’t pay for it until they sell it, Anderson said. The first $350,000 in sales yields a 13 percent commission. Contractors get an 8 percent commission for between $350,000 and $1 million in sales, and anything more than $1 million has a 6 percent commission, Anderson said.

Of the state’s 105 contract stores, the majority sell less than $500,000 a year. Castleford’s store sold just $48,769 in the 2017 fiscal year.

The top state-run liquor store in south-central Idaho was Ketchum’s, with more than $3.6 million in sales. The top-selling contractor was in Bellevue, with $698,479 in sales.

Where does all that money go to? A 2 percent tax goes to drug courts for substance abuse treatment and prevention, Anderson said. The contract stores get their commission. But the rest of the net income is transferred to state and local governments.

In the 2017 fiscal year, the

but you have to buy so much of it,” she said.

With smaller orders, she’ll pick up what she needs from the liquor store in Twin Falls. Pettit marvels at the size and layout of the state-run stores, which carry a wide selection.

“We do have an exceptional selection of product,” Anderson said. “We operate this as a business, as you will, but we are a state agency.”

The state keeps up on trends too. Vodka remains Idahoans’ liquor of choice, but bourbon and whiskey are quickly rising, said Idaho Division of Liquor CFO Tony Faraca.

In December, when Pettit saw a spike in liquor sales, the state came out with several gift boxes.

The most popular: A bottle of Crown Royal with glasses embossed with crowns.

“When it comes down to it, government is just people,” Pettit said.

And she would know. The city councilwoman is the friendly face that greets people when they walk in the door from a long day of work. Most of her liquor sales happen at night.

“People around here, they work so hard,” she said. “They need a good drink.”

‘Just people’

Pettit’s liquor section stands just beyond some barred-up windows. In the past, she said, the store has had problems with theft.

But the state won’t charge for the stolen liquor if Pettit or her employees catch the theft and report it. If they don’t see the person who did it or get them on camera, however, the store foots the bill.

The state division also understands that accidents happen. If Pettit drops a bottle, she won’t get charged for that either, as long as she doesn’t make a habit of it.

When she runs low on supply, Pettit enters her order into a computer program offered by the state.

“They bring it by truck to us,

So before you can get a liquor license, you must obtain a beer license and pay that $50 annual fee. The on-premise liquor consumption license can then be added onto that. Beer before liquor.

The state application requires a background check and fingerprinting, and you cannot have violated the state’s liquor laws in the past. Once your state beer and liquor licenses are approved, you also have to get county and city licenses before you can start running a business. Each of these licenses must be renewed annually, with associated fees.

A catering permit would allow you to sell liquor for consumption at events, but you still have to have a general liquor license before receiving a catering license. Each county or city has its own restrictions on catering permits, and there are restrictions on the number of days you can cater liquor.

Doty noted that the intent of a catering license is for events and parties — not to allow businesses to have another remote business location.

city of Castleford got more than $5,000 for its liquor sales. Twin Falls got $669,388 of its $7.2 million in sales, according to an Idaho State Liquor Division report.

Liquor prices are set by the state every month, and are identical across all stores in Idaho.

Bars receive a discount for what they purchase. Pettit’s Country Market is the supplier for both of Castleford’s bars, Longhorn Saloon and King & Harts Club.

and 180 days on a third violation.

An owner found guilty of a violation will have the opportunity for a separate hearing with ISP. The state will also take away a liquor license if your business closes and you don’t sell or transfer the license within 90 days.

Suspensions for active businesses aren’t unheard of in Twin Falls. In 2015, Canyon Crest Dining and Event Center was found guilty of a Title 23 violation for hosting “The Ultimate Male Revue,” a nude dance performance.

Excluding specialty licenses, when you get a liquor license, the state requires you to run a business with that license for at least six days a week, eight hours a day, for the first six months.

“That ensures that you’re not parking a license,” Doty said.

So if your plan is to just hang onto a license, and not use it yourself until you can sell it for enough money, that isn’t going to work. The state knows there are a limited number of licenses available and they need to be in use, Doty said.

As Idaho’s sole distributor of liquor, the state doesn’t want to miss out on potential revenues from sales.

After the first six months of owning a liquor license, you have to continually use the license for at least two years before you can lease it out to someone else.
