Doorman Offered Option to Buy St. Paul Criterion Restaurant
In St. Paul, Mickey Oliver, longtime doorman and former jazz musician, may own the Criterion Restaurant again after owner Robert Sandler offered him the first option to purchase the midway building, land, and liquor license for 105000. Sandler cites insurance as insufficient and notes a 600000 repair bill for the fire-damaged site. Oliver, who knows many customers by name, plans to seek investors or a small business loan to cover the purchase.
