Gentlemen and Ladies of Dublin City Council. Please allow the expansion of Sahara Market. This is
one of the Ethnic Food Supply stoe essential to support the community of Afghans, Indians,
Pakistanis and other ethnic minorities living in the wonderful city of Dublin. Your favorable decision
will be much appreciated.

Dear Mayer, Voice Mayer & City Council Members,
I just want to say that the expansion of Sahara Market is greatly needed in the
community. Sahara Market has proven in the last 12 months that they are a vital service
to our community, a good source of tax revenue to City of Dublin and a source of
employment at this current economic time. I urge you to consider and okay their
expansion project.
Regards,
Zubair Simab, resident of Danville.

Dear Mayor and Planning Commission members,
I am a frequent patron of Sahara Market. The value they bring to the community is immeasurable. Quality and variety of
middle eastern foods at great value.
They are providing in one store things that would require multiple stores. I am not sure what the objection is to their
expansion, but I just want to say that they enhance the community and are good for commerce and city of Dublin.
I work in Pleasanton, and really support their plans.

Hello,
As a regular patron of Sahara Market I was surprised to hear the expansion was denied recently. I
have great respect for the Mom and Pop / Brick and Mortar businesses which are the backbone of
our economies. They are overlooked so often because of the big box stores and large employers
who receive all of the attention of city governments and concessions including tax breaks. These
small businesses start small and build business over time. They are doing all of the right things in
growing, expanding, creating jobs, and tax revenues. Let's not hinder progress!
Not knowing all of the details for the denial. I am perplexed at the expansion denial based on the
large amount commercial space which is vacant during our recent economic meltdown. More Sahara
Markets are needed to fill the void of businesses lost in recent years.
I encourage you to find away to work with Moe & Sal so progress and success can succeed
Cheers. John Sims
