Subject: Unfair Treatment and Discrimination in Alcohol Licensing . I am writing to share my disappointment and frustration regarding the recent developments in my business, which has led me to make the difficult decision to close down my shop.For some time now, I have been operating the only Brazilian shop in Cricklewood, and I have worked tirelessly to provide a unique and welcoming experience for my customers. Recently, I applied for an alcohol license to enhance the offerings of my store and better serve the community. However, I have been met with unfair treatment and discrimination throughout this process.To my shock, the alcohol license I applied for was granted to a neighboring shop called Zoombie, despite the fact that I fulfilled all the necessary requirements and met all the criteria. It is disheartening to see that my efforts and contribution to the local community have been overlooked, while others seemingly receive preferential treatment.I firmly believe that this decision is not only unjust but also discriminatory. It seems unfair that my Brazilian shop is being treated differently than other establishments in the same area. I have always strived to create a diverse and inclusive environment for everyone, regardless of their background, and it is disheartening to feel singled out in this manner.I have made numerous attempts to address this issue with the relevant authorities involved in the licensing process, expressing my concerns and seeking clarification on why my application was denied. Unfortunately, my efforts have been met with silence, leaving me with no choice but to make the difficult decision to close down my shop.I want to express my gratitude to the community for their support over the years. It has been an honor to serve you, and I am deeply sorry for any inconvenience caused by this closure. I hope that you will continue to support local businesses like mine, as they are an integral part of the community's fabric.I also urge the authorities responsible for the alcohol licensing process to reevaluate their decision-making procedures and ensure that fairness and non-discrimination are upheld. It is crucial that all businesses, regardless of their background, are given equal opportunities to thrive and contribute to the local economy.
