A newly formed group, the Frisco Committee for Economic Growth, wants to expand alcohol offerings in Frisco.

The group is asking Frisco registered voters to sign a petition calling for the “legal sale of all alcoholic beverages, including mixed beverages.” This would allow the city to have fine wine or package liquor stores.

Frisco currently has a mix of wet, dry and damp regulations.

The group has hired Austin-based Texas Petition Strategies to coordinate the petition and election effort.

According to state law, the group is required to collect 9,700 signatures by July 17. If enough signatures are gathered, Frisco City Council will either vote on the issue or call an election for November.

TPS partner John Hatch estimated the petition process and election in Frisco will cost the group $150,000 to $175,000.

Hatch estimates Frisco could generate more than $950,000 per year in tax revenue.

Last year the Frisco City Council passed an ordinance allowing alcohol sales until 2 a.m. with voter approval. Previously, bars and restaurants had to cut customers off at midnight six days a week and 1 a.m. on Saturdays.

Frisco has had five alcohol elections in the past 10 years.
