RE: All licenses held by A M Investors, Inc. dlb/a Pickles for the premises located at
1082 Arcade Street in Saint Paul
License ID #: 20020002577
Dear Sir/Madam:
The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection (LIEF) has
recommended adverse action against all licenses held by A M Investors, Inc. d!b/a Pickles for the
premises located at 1082 Arcade Street in Saint Paul . The basis for the recommendation is as
follows:
On November 15, 200A, the Office of License, Inspection and
Environmental Protection received a faxed copy of your revised
certificate for liquor liability insuraace from your iusurance carrier.
It shorved an effective date of November 10, 2004.
Your insurance carrier stated they were unable to backdate coverage
to November 7, 2004. The policy was signed on November 10, 2Q04,
therefore, the issue date must remain November 10, 2004. This leaves
a lapse in coverage from November 7, 2004 to November 10, 200-1.
The recommended penalty for this violation is a 10 day suspension of all of your licenses.
