Council approves liquor license for Walker's Convenience Mart on North 16th

OMAHA — The Omaha City Council voted 7-0 Tuesday to approve a Class D liquor license for the store at 3932 N. 16th St., which will operate under a new name, Walker's Convenience Mart, according to the council's Nov. 10 meeting video.

The store, now Luna Mini Mart, will be run by MNG Inc. David Houghton, speaking for the company, said it is meant to be a full-service grocery with more than 100 grocery items.

A pastor said he had sent letters opposing the license, citing the number of liquor licenses in nearby ZIP codes, and said the area doesn't need more places selling alcohol to go.

Council Member Goodwin said he would support the license while working on a broader study of liquor licenses across District 2. The council approved an amendment and then the license, both 7-0.

The meeting did not say when the new name takes effect. Questions about the District 2 study can go to the City Council.
