Long ago there was a new pizza place that opened up in a strip shopping center close to my old house. The owners were friends of mine. Like any new restaurant it takes forever to get permits to get running fully. They opened up and started selling pizza, but the beer license was held up by some of the nearby residential areas protesting them selling beer. Actually it was one old lady that did not anyone having a beer. The real irony is right next door only separated by a firewall was a notorious strip joint that the bikers liked, and they sold tons of beer and of course that was the basis of their profits. So it was really a beer joint that had naked women dancing there just next door.

The restaurant went to court to get the liquor license approved. The judge looked at the owners, and said, pizza, beer. Thought a few seconds, and said license approved. Their profits went way up when they could sell a bottle of beer for four or five times their cost. They did still sell more pizza than beer, but the beer sales just made the extra profit needed in any small family owned business.
