(October 2025) Request for Concord, NC ABC Board: Employee positions / salaries / rates of pay for all ABC stores. As of present day.

Good evening Concord, NC ABC Board or Records Officer / Custodian(s) of these Records,

Please reply promptly to the following public records request, which I’m making in accordance with NC Public Records Law. https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html

Please provide a list of all positions and salaries for all ABC Employees and Stores in Concord, NC. As of the present day (on the date the query is performed). I am not requesting to know each employee’s name -- please omit that info. I am only interested to know positions and rates of pay. Please include the following:

1) Job position / Title / Store
2) Salary [including hourly wage, hourly rate, or annual salary -- whichever payment structure is applicable to the employee]

Ideally, I’d like to receive the responsive records in a PDF, Excel, or other machine-readable format. If any / all of this info is already publicly available online, please provide a link to where it can be accessed.

** I’m simply requesting an electronic copy of an electronic record, if one exists. I’m NOT asking for the opportunity to come in person to “inspect”, nor to obtain a printed copy of, this electronic record. I’m requesting explicitly that any responsive info be provided to me via the electronic medium / electronic format (in which the copy of this record already exists). If you are unable to fulfill any or all parts of this request, please specifically cite where a reason for denial is justified under NC Public Records Law. **
————————————

Please note that by submitting this request, I’m NOT agreeing to pay any potential fees or associated costs related to my request. If it isn’t possible to process the request without incurring fees, then please let me know the itemized potential cost and clear explanations of those charges upfront, and DO NOT proceed until I respond.

By Law I’m not required to provide a name or address to associate with a public records request, but in order to move things along I’d like to clarify that this request is being made by:

Sunshine Request
PO Box 17391
Asheville, NC 28816

The request has been sent solely by me and my email address [email protected] . If anyone other than that email address contacts you to pursue a similar request, it did not come from me. Please do not commingle or treat that as an alteration or cancellation of my request – I intend to continue to pursue my request.

Thank you for your assistance!

    Hi Belinda,

     

    This is my third and final attempt to follow up since October 24th. I have not received a response.

     

    To reiterate:

    – I assume that the “#s” listed on your document correspond with the store numbers shown at the following URL: https://concordabcboard.com/locations/

    – For example:  “20   $ 22.04  FT  Manager  8“,  should correspond with  “Concord ABC Store #8 2940 Derita Rd.Concord, NC 28027″.

     

    Assuming that my understanding of the information you provided is correct, I will go ahead and mark the request as “Completed” now. However, if I’m mistaken about anything, then please clarify. 

     

    Thank you.

    Hi Belinda,

     

    I’m following up on the previous (Oct 15 @ 5:37pm). I have not heard back.

     

    To reiterate:

    – The spreadsheet you provided on 10/15 includes most of what I requested. However, the “Store” field was not included.

    – Can you please update the document to include the Store # or Store Name / Location as requested?

     

    I’ll follow up again in 1 week, if I don’t hear anything else before then.

     

    Thank you for your help!
