If you live within a one square mile radius of Lucy’s Market, and are over 21, they would like your signature on a petition to get a beer & wine license.

Kelsey Lucy, owner of Lucy’s Market: “We would love to be able to serve beer and wine here at the shop. With the ways the laws currently work in Alaska, in order to do so, a huge piece of our application is to get signatures of residents that live within one square mile of our location. We have to get a majority of the residents that are 21 and over to sign a petition saying they are okay with us serving beer and wine. For us, that number is about 530 people.”

Lucy’s Market established in August of 2017. Kelsey purchased the shop that was previously operated under the owners of River City Books, which still shares the building with the market.

Lucy’s offers specialty cheese, gourmet grocery items, and wholesome food options including sandwiches, salads, hot entrees, and sweet treats.

Kelsey: “We make it fresh everyday, kind of on the healthier end. It’s ready to go so people can come in quickly and take it to go or we have a dining area. We are also a bakery and we also have gourmet grocery retail items. We also have a cheese counter with cheese and cured meats, the only one on the peninsula.”

If you fall within that one square mile radius and are interested in signing the petition you can visit Lucy’s Market at their new location at 338 Homestead Lane in Soldotna.
