(a) The commission may issue a three-way
permit to the proprietor of a new restaurant which is located outside the
corporate limits of an incorporated city or town for the sale of alcoholic
beverages if:
(1) the applicant proves to the local board and the commission
that a projection of his experience had for the first ninety (90)
days of gross food sales at the location will exceed not less than
two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) in gross food sales by
the end of two (2) years from the date of his application; and
(2) the restaurant meets the additional requirements provided in
section 12 of this chapter, other than the gross food sales

under this section for an applicant who plans to do business during six

thousand five hundred dollars ($8,500) per month for each full month
that the applicant plans to do business.
(c) Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b), the commission may
issue a permit for a new restaurant to sell alcoholic beverages at the
time of its opening if the applicant for this permit first executes a
verified certification to the commission stating that the anticipated
gross food sales are expected to exceed two hundred thousand dollars
($200,000) during the first two (2) years of operation. Not more than
one hundred twenty (120) days after the opening of the new restaurant,
the applicant shall furnish to the commission a financial statement

sales shown on the financial statement do not meet the standards set
