Nakvasil owns six other
theaters in Oregon and Wash-
ington, but the Keizer theater
appears to be the fi rst further
south than Canby.
The key to the deal would
be a lease on city-owned
property where the theater, its
parking lot and another small
3,000 square foot pad would
be constructed. It’s a fi rst-of-
its-kind venture for the city,
but one Eppley has champi-
oned for several years.
“Given that there are many
revenue streams the city has
no control over, this is one
where we can set the terms
and it might be a model for
other city-owned properties
in the future,” Eppley said.
Keizer still owns a few
properties in the Keizer Sta-
tion area and others elsewhere
in the city limits.
In the past, Keizer city
councilors have declined to
retain ownership of property,
but selling parcels off gives
the city revenues a one-time
shot in the arm while leases
create a continuing source of
revenue.
Eppley said the city main-
tains complete control over
the type of tenants allowed on
such property, which means
the city won’t end up in lease
agreements with businesses
offering marijuana sales. Do-
ing so would put the city in
the legally tenuous position of
reaping profi t from the sales
of a federally controlled sub-
stance.
The terms of the proposed
lease would generate an ad-
ditional $138,000 annually
for the city, about $1.18 per
square foot for the 117,250
square foot ground area.
The rent will increase 2
percent annually with a “look
back” every 10 years to ad-
just up or down depending
on fl uctuations in the con-
sumer price index. The fi rst
lease term would last 50 years
with nine fi ve-year options to
renew and one four-year op-
tion, a total of 99 years if the
lessee takes advantage of all of
them.
The lessee must also pay
all associated costs including,
but not limited to insurance,
maintenance and property
taxes. No liens on the prop-
erty would be permitted. The
city will pay for curb cut en-
tries, driveways and sidewalks.
The Salem-Keizer Transit
District will be responsible for
a signaled intersection.
The city council will also
have to hold a public hearing
on the matter before any lease
is signed.

based Pate Retail Properties
will receive a commission for
his role in bringing Nakvasil
and the city together.
the new store, 5023 River Road
N., and a sign of things to come.
“We want to make it an
event bar highlighting local dis-
tilleries and local wineries for
the people whose products we
sell. We’re also hoping to bring
people in to do educational
talks about how everything
ends up in the bottle,” said Oli-
ver.
While work on the bar is
still being completed, custom-
ers can sign up for text mes-
sages and email blasts about
upcoming events at the shop’s
new website, www.keizerli-
quorstore.com.
The Cokers took ownership
of Keizer Liquor in January
2014 and have had their sights
on the Schoolhouse Square
space even before it became
available.
“We’ve always thought this
space would be a good space
for the store, and when we pre-
sented the move to the OLCC
(Oregon Liquor Control Com-
mission) this was the space we
envisioned,” Oliver said.
The fl oor space has more
than doubled from the prior
location further south on River
Road and that’s made way for
a bevy of new products. In ad-
dition to a wider selection of
wines, with a focus on North-
west vintners, an exponentially
larger selection of cigars, a gift
shop, and more Oregon-made
liquor products, the Cokers
are putting a spotlight on craft
beers.
“We have a lot of Oregon-
made items, 13 doors of North-
west craft beers and three doors
of 22-oz craft beers. We’re also
always changing and trying to
fi gure out the right mix for
Keizer,” Oliver said. “We try to
stock things customers might
not fi nd in a grocery store.”
One side effect of the move
is that Keizer Liquor is now the
largest liquor store in the state.
“That wasn’t intended, it just
kind of happened,” Oliver said.
The Cokers and their em-
ployees moved the store in
one fell swoop two weeks ago,
packing up the old store on
a Saturday and moving it to
the new site on Sunday. They
opened the doors for business
on Monday.
They’ve also hired new em-
ployees to take on the extra du-
ties the new store requires.
“We started hiring before
the move so we could get ev-
erybody up to speed on the sys-
tems,” Christy said. They now
have a dozen employees and
expect to hire another three or
four for the upcoming holiday
season.
“It’s been exciting ... tiring,
but the more it calms down, the
easier it is to see the bigger pic-
ture. We’re still kind of waiting
for the moment to hit us when
we can appreciate how amaz-
ing it is and it’s going to be,”
Christy said.
