I know in Ohio the number is limited also, but the way to get around it for most businesses is to purchase one at a "future" rate. Which means, if I own a business and I can't sell because the township is dry, and then the township opens up and allows sales, I can activate my license that I bought.
It is a scam and a damn good one, as who is going to challenge the state? You try, and they'll make sure that license never gets used.
Also, when I owned my pizza business, I found out licenses are transferrable to owner not location. So if I bought the guy's license down the street I could transfer it to my business so long as the laws and ordinances were the same.
As for investment..... yes this is a BIG way to make money, buy low and sell high. Buy up all the licenses you can as places close then sell them for as much as you can get.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
