Fall River Government TV Oct 14, 2025 YouTube Report Issue

The Fall River Licensing Board convened on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, with Chairman Greg Brilliant and Commissioners Michael Pereira and Melanie Cadero present. The meeting addressed several licensing applications and renewals. The board unanimously approved a one-day liquor permit for the Boys and Girls Club of Fall River for an event on November 8, 2025. They also granted common victualer licenses to Black Nutrition, Chick-fil-A (under new ownership), and Choco Latte Cafe (for a new location), and approved an extension of hours for Morgan's Cantina. A significant discussion revolved around Anchor and Stone LLC, represented by attorney Peter Celino, seeking a new all-alcohol common victualer license and a pledge of collateral to Bay Coast Bank for a restaurant at the former Leages Seafood location. This was unanimously approved. The most contentious item was a Class 2 wholesale license review for Lamar Grand Motors LLC, represented by James Sylvester. The board had previously approved this, but it was discovered the applicant did not have a proper lease for a physical office, only a PO box with shared conference room access. Despite Commissioner Pereira's motion to grant the license, it failed due to lack of a second, as Commissioner Cadero and Chairman Brilliant expressed discomfort with licensing a business operating solely from a mailbox, citing legal requirements for a physical office. The board ultimately voted unanimously to table the matter until the next meeting to allow Mr. Sylvester to secure a legitimate office space. Finally, the board unanimously approved the 2026 renewal dates for various common victualer, lodging, fortune teller, and alcohol licenses.
