Nahale-a: Good morning. Breeland: Good morning. Gonzalez: Can you please state your name? Breeland: My name is Naehalani Breeland. I'm the President of Ola Brew as well as the Marketing Director. Taffany: Zachary Taffany, new COO. Nahale-a: Good morning, thank you. Gonzalez: Madam Chair, this is an application for an increase in the licensed premises to include the Tap Room extension for a retail area for growler filling, and various merchandise and packaged items sales. Nahale-a: It's the purple area on the floor plan you provided? Gonzalez: Yes. Nahale-a: Yes. Since the applicants are here, Commissioners, any questions? Gonzalez: If I may? Good morning, thank you for coming. Can you describe for the Commissioners the types of merchandise or packaged goods you are thinking about selling in this area? Breeland: Yes. In our Tap Room we are currently selling shirts and hats. Basically, that's the extent of our merchandise. We are looking to expand on those sales this year, so we've started purchasing more merchandise like coffee mugs, koozies, Frisbees, shorts and aloha print shirts. We'd like to sell out of that new area. We would also have a growler fill as well as all of our canned packaged goods. That would be like the off -premises sales for our liquor. Gonzalez: Also, looking at the floor plan that you provided to the Department on January 3, 2019, it looks like there is a wall separating the Tap Room and the Tap Room extension area that you are applying for. Is that correct? Is there a wall? Breeland: Yes, that's correct. We will build a door, a fire proof door that we'll keep closed until people are going in there. Gonzalez: My final question, is there going to be an employee in the extension area to monitor the merchandise? Breeland: Yes, we'll always have an employee there. Sometimes two. Gonzalez: Thank you.
