A sample of the month's new applicants

Independent operators only; chain and multi-unit filings are excluded from this list but included in the counts above.

Using these figures? They come from weekly snapshots of the state liquor authorities' own records — Ohio's Division of Liquor Control, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, and the Michigan Liquor Control Commission. Reporters and analysts are welcome to quote them; a link back is appreciated, and I'm happy to pull a county or city cut on request: matt@liquorleads.net.
