Mr. Bhalla stated the concept for the business is an upscale wine bar and deli with gaming.
Trustee McAlpine asked what the approximate breakdown would be between wine sales, food sales, etc. Mr. Bhalla stated his goal was to have a 50-50 split between dine in & take out sales. Mr. Bhalla stated that the gaming portion is intended to cover rent costs.
