Save the Date for KABR Annual Conference October 3-4 

Recent news regarding regulatory actions:

There appear to be loopholes in current statute that allow an independently owned retail liquor store to operate within the supports of a larger chain business structure as long as the finances are structured separately and advertising indicates the store is independently operated.  

Other gaps seem to allow a distributor to operate for the benefit of a retailer.  Kansas Statute does not specifically "require" a distributor to deliver, although the statutes do define how, when and where they are to deliver. The statute also requires any distributor that delivers to any retailer to deliver to all retailers within their territory. We have questions about distributors holding statewide franchise agreements for products they are not licensed to distribute statewide.
