The Fall River Licensing Board convened on Monday, December 9th, 2024, with board members Mike Pereira, Melanie Cadero, and Attorney Greg Bram present. The meeting began with a review of public comment policy, for which no one had signed up. The board then proceeded to address several license applications and transfers, as well as a significant number of 2025 license renewals. Key actions included the unanimous approval of a new Common Victualler license for A Gold Foods at 441 Tucker Street, a Brazilian supermarket, bakery, butcher shop, and buffet. The board also unanimously approved the transfer of a beer and wine Common Victualler license to Alexandros Demetriadis for TBA High Pizza at 797 Robeson Street, and a license for Taylor Demitro's Fortune Taylor Psychic Shop at its new location, 540B South Main Street. Cornerstone Lodge Inc. at 226 East Main Street received unanimous approval for a change in hours, allowing them to operate until 1 a.m. Sunday through Wednesday and 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday. G&G Auto Inc. at 697 Pleasant Street was unanimously granted a Class Two Auto Sales license, and Bob's Auto Sale at 643 Rodman Avenue received unanimous approval for a late renewal of its Class Two license. Additionally, G Haven Corporation doing business as Subway received unanimous approval for the transfer of Common Victualler licenses for three locations: 1500 Ray Avenue, 499 Globe Street, and 179 President Avenue. A substantial portion of the meeting was dedicated to the unanimous approval of numerous 2025 license renewals across various categories, including All Alcohol Club Common Victualler/Entertainment, Common Victualler, Farmer Brewer, All Alcohol Package Store, Beer and Wine Package Store, All Alcohol Common Victualler/Entertainment, Beer and Wine Common Victualler Entertainment, and All Alcohol Vets Club Common Victualler Entertainment licenses. The minutes from the October 29th, 2024 meeting were also unanimously approved. The Liberal Club's request for a one-time extension of hours was not approved as no representative was present at the meeting.
