Woolery From: Detective Greg Malcolm Date: January 30, 2014 Re: TOBACCO UCENSE APPLICATION — WALMART APPLICANT: Megan Danae Struble Reid Frederick Charpentier - Local Manager NARRATIVE: Walmart is an international corporation operating over 11,000 retail sites worldwide. Many of these retail locations offer tobacco products as well �as tobacco related products. BACKGROUND: On December 18, 2013, Walmart made application to the city of Cottage Grove to conduct tobacco sales at its most rec�nt location at 9300 East Point Douglas Road South in the city of Cottage Grove. This would be Walmart store #2448. The applicant Megan Struble, is the licensing compliance manager for Walmart . lnternational. Due to the global nature of Walmart's business, a limited background check was conducted on both the applicant Megan Struble and the locat store manager Reid Charpentier. I did utilize TLO as a search engine and found that both applicants are free from any bankruptcies, judges, liens or criminal history. CONTACTS: In checking local records management systems, I find� no contacts for either individual. CONCLUSION: I find nathing in the applicant's background which would preclude them from operating and selling tobacco and tobacco related products from the business known as Walmart, located at 9300 East Point Douglas Road South in the city of Cottage Grove. It should also be noted that Megan Struble has signed and acknowledged an agreement with the city of Cottage Grove that no drug paraphernalia or drug paraphernalia related items would be sold from the Walmart location.
