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.
