New Asia One Approved for Liquor and Common Victualler's Licenses
Taste of Paradise Granted Liquor License After Completing Renovations
Fortier Auto Sales Class 2 License Transferred to Fourth-Generation Owner
Licensing Board Approves Common Victualler's License for Baja's Fresh Grill
Board Approves Beer and Wine License Transfer for Gas Station on Beaufort Street
Board Approves License Transfer for Ameristore on South Main Street
The Fall River Licensing Board, meeting with a two-member quorum consisting of Chairman Gregory Brilhante, Esq. and member Michael Perreira, conducted its business on August 19, 2026. Due to the two-member board, all approvals required a unanimous vote, and applicants were given the option to table their petitions for a full board, though none chose to do so. The board approved several license applications and transfers. New Asia One Inc. at 1355 South Main Street was granted both an all-alcoholic beverage license and a common victualler's license to resume their dining operations. Taste of Paradise, located at 1335 Pleasant Street, received its all-alcoholic common victualler's license after completing significant renovations. The board also granted Taste of Paradise a series of one-day liquor permits for several weekends in August and September to allow them to operate before their full license is approved by the state, waiving the police detail requirement unless deemed necessary by the police department. The board also handled several license transfers. A Class 2 auto sales license for Fortier Auto Sales and Service at 605 Globe Street was transferred from father to son, continuing a nearly 100-year-old family business. A beer and wine license was approved for transfer from Moe's Mini Mart to MRS Inc. (DBA Supreme Mott) at 1012 Beaufort Street, which included a change of location and manager. Another beer and wine license was transferred for the property at 1363 South Main Street to Sharab Inc. (DBA Ameristore). Additionally, Baja's Fresh Grill was granted a common victualler's license for its new location at 933 Pleasant Street, and TTC Entertainment LLC received approval for a pledge of collateral on its license. An entertainment license application for Danny's Dockside Inc. was tabled at the applicant's request as the establishment is not yet open.

0:35The city charter, Section 9-18, mandates that all multiple-member bodies develop and adopt rules or policies for public comment.
0:43We have adopted such a policy which, in short, provides for citizen input on licensing board-specific matters at the beginning of the meeting.
0:50There is a sign-up sheet located in the back of the room.
0:52We have anybody?
0:54No.
0:54Okay, I'd like to say something.
0:56I'd like you to speak up a little bit.
0:57You sound a little quiet today.
0:59Okay, I apologize.
1:00Come on, Mr. Chairman.
1:01Uh, I'm going to start the meeting by saying we only have a 2-member board, um, tonight, so which means you have to get a unanimous vote in order for your petition to pass.
1:12Um, based on that, we do allow any petitioner to table their petition until the next meeting in order to ensure that you have a full, uh, board.
1:23So that'll be your option.
1:24Um, does anybody wish to entertain that option and not go forward tonight?

2:55Yes.
2:55Okay.
2:58Do you have any experience in the restaurant, uh, giving out liquor business?
3:03Uh, yes, we had a liquor license before COVID and then after COVID closed, we kind of changed it up a bit, but But now we're hoping to reopen dining, so therefore at the same place.
3:13Yeah, same place.
3:13Oh, you've already— oh, okay, so you've already been there.
3:16I apologize, I didn't know that.
3:18Okay, any, any questions from the police department?

3:26Yeah, we'll do both of them.
3:27Okay, we can do 2 separate motions, Michael, but I'll just— we don't need to.
3:30After this, we'll just do 2 successive motions.
3:33Um, anybody out there in favor of this petition?
3:35Anybody opposed to the position?
3:37Uh, hearing none, I'll entertain a motion.
3:39So I'd like to make a motion to grant Asia One Incorporated, um, an all-liquor license, um, uh, 1355 South Main Street.
3:50I'll second that motion.
3:51Any questions on the motion?
3:52Hearing none, all those in favor?
3:53Aye.
3:54All those opposed?
3:55Okay, so I'll make a second motion to grant Asia One— New Asia One Incorporated a common victuals license Uh, 1355 South Main Street.
4:05I'll second that motion.
4:07Any questions on a motion?
4:08Hearing none, all those in favor, all those opposed?
4:11Good luck reopening.
4:12I know you don't have to say aye, just so— that's okay, that's okay though.
4:18Good luck, good luck reopening.
4:20Okay, okay, thank you.
4:21All right, bye-bye now.
4:22Have a great day, guys.
4:26Uh, Article C, Taste of Paradise.
4:311335 Pleasant Street.
4:34Ronald Renee, good evening, um, for an all-alcoholic common victualler's license.
4:40This matter was previously tabled quite some time ago pending completion of the renovations.
4:45Please state your name and address for the record.
4:47My name is Ronald Renee.
4:48The address of the establishment is 1335 Pleasant Street, Fall River, and my address is 157 Long Island Avenue, Somerset.
4:56Okay, um, I know you were here before and I went out and looked at this, and I do know that there were some renovations that had to be made.
5:05I'm told that all the renovations have been made to the satisfaction of the building department, correct?
5:11Yes.
5:11Okay, and now the licensed premises is not the basement, correct?
5:15No, no, no, no, no, no touching that.
5:18Um, we have, um, planned— the whole building department's been there, it's been used as storage.
5:23We're not using that.
5:24Okay, um, dress everything the way it is.
5:26Okay, main floor?
5:28Main floor, yes.
5:28Okay, I'm good with— because I went— did you go with me that day?
5:31I went.
5:32Yeah, you were there.
5:32You hadn't owned it yet?
5:34Um, no, you had just— I was, I was just about to make the transfer, right?
5:38That's correct.
5:39Correct.
5:39Okay.
5:40Yeah.
5:40Um, I have floor plans in there too.
5:43Yeah, yeah, I looked at them.
5:44It's right here.
5:45I know.
5:45I just want to make sure that it's on the record that he's not using the basement because there was some, there was some, um, questions at the time when we were there whether it was obviously a fire hazard because there was only one way out of there.
5:55That's correct.
5:56And so, you know, as long as they stay out of the basement and he's satisfied the building department, I know I'm okay because I was there and I know the building department has been working with Mr. Renee to try to get this done.
6:07And it's been a long time coming.
6:08So, well, what type of food?
6:11It's going to be Caribbean and American food that we're going to serve.
6:17Your title is A Taste of Paradise.
6:18It's a high bar.
6:21Paradise.
6:21Listen, uh, hopefully you guys can stop by.
6:23The grand opening is Friday.
6:25It's amazing what we've done, um, for the year.
6:28Okay, well, I'm gonna have to take your word on it.
6:30I, I may go by only because I want to see the change, because it needed, it needed some TLC when I was there.
6:37It's, it's more than TLC because we revamped the entire place and needed some work.
6:42So you guys are going to be happy with that.
6:44So with that, I'll make a motion to— can I just get the hours if you don't mind?
6:47Okay.
6:48Yes, I got the hours here.
6:50And, um, we, we're temporarily going to close on Monday, um, just because we're still in the process.
6:55But might you open at some point?
6:57Yes.
6:58So then put it in here.
6:59Okay, um, it's gonna be, um, from Monday through Thursday from 11, um, to 11 PM, and then from Friday and Saturday from 11 to 1:30 AM.
7:14And then Sunday from 11 PM to 11 PM, uh, 11 AM to 11 PM.
7:20Okay, so you're gonna be open to 1:30 in the morning.
7:23Um, so usually when I say 1:30, if we doing anything, we're just gonna close by 1, but by the time for us to clean up, just get everybody out.
7:31Yeah, just make sure you don't have any problems going over the time.
7:33Absolutely.
7:34Okay, so just make sure, because once we start getting those complaints, those are from neighbors or people around, then you're going to get yourself back in here.
7:41Okay, well, that's— I do have a question with that because, uh, 1:30 sounds late to me for a restaurant.
7:50Now, is it like after that midnight, maybe even 10, 8, 10 PM on Friday till 1 AM, is it going to be a nightclub type atmosphere?
7:59That's, that's not— because that's where you're going to run into problems with us if that happens.
8:02I know, I spoke with— we're doing a fine dining area.
8:06Yeah, so where we're not doing any clubs.
8:09Okay, because you have a liquor license, all— so you can't.
8:12But if there's trouble, but it's— you're telling us it's not?
8:15Okay, that's no problem.
8:15That was my question.
8:16Yeah, I spoke with, um, Glenn, with Eugene, and I can assure you guys it's not gonna happen.
8:22We're gonna have some activities sometimes.
8:23I know a lot of, um, artists.
8:25We do karaoke.
8:26Artists that's gonna come, like DJs playing.
8:29And then also, I mean, um, no, but you don't— he doesn't have an entertainment license as of yet, right?
8:34Or does he?
8:34I believe he does.
8:36You have an entertainment license?
8:37They have the common Vic an entertainment license that was issued by you guys earlier.
8:42Earlier, because he's asking for a common vic now.
8:44So you sure we did the entertainment?
8:46I'm sure.
8:47This is the all-alcohol common vic.
8:50Okay.
8:50Yeah.
8:51All right.
8:51But if there's anything too, I can see Courtney.
8:54But like I said, right now we're doing fine dining, so everybody's coming.
8:57You can have reservation, you can check the website.
8:59I think all Mike's saying— I don't want to speak for him because he's very able to speak for himself— is just try to make sure that we want— we want you to be successful.
9:06We really do.
9:07I told— I had this discussion with you.
9:08Yeah, we spoke.
9:08Yeah.
9:10And I do want you to be successful over there because Pleasant Street needs some work.
9:16I mean, we got to do a better job over there in trying to uplift the Flint.
9:20So I would hope that this is going to be one of the things that we're going to be most proud of over there.
9:25Absolutely.
9:26You guys will be very proud when you see the place.
9:29I can assure you that.
9:30Okay.
9:30All right.
9:32I make a motion to grant the new alcohol, all alcohol convicts license The Taste of Paradise at, um, 1335 Pleasant Street.
9:41Thank you.
9:42Um, I'll second that.
9:43Questions on the motion?
9:45Hearing none, all those in favor?
9:47Aye.
9:47All those opposed?
9:48All set.
9:49Stay, stay right where you are.
9:50Oh, he's back.
9:51One-day liquor permits, obviously.
9:54And I, I said, why do you need both?
9:56But it won't be back from the ABCC in time.
9:58Yeah, that's why you want it.
9:59That's correct.
10:00Okay, so he wants a series of one-day liquor permits.
10:02Um, I, I just want to say, ask one question that before I, um, it's, it's One Day Taste of Paradise, 1335 Pleasant Street, Ronald Renee, for the dates.
10:15Are those dates correct?
10:16Because 8/20 is Thursday, but tomorrow, but he doesn't have for Friday.
10:21Everything else is a weekend.
10:22Um, we'll probably— but if you think it's Friday, that's the 21st.
10:27That's the 21st.
10:27That's the grand opening.
10:28That's when We're going to cut the ribbon.
10:30This should be the 20th.
10:31Are you going to serve food and liquor?
10:33Yes.
10:33You gotta— you should put it on there then, right?
10:36Well, 21st.
10:39So you want it the 21st, not the 20th?
10:41Yes.
10:41Okay, so it says 20th.
10:43The 21st.
10:44Okay, not the 20th.
10:45Not the 20th.
10:45So the one-day liquor permits he's looking for are 8/21, 8/22, 8/23, 8/28, 8/29, 830-949596.
11:01Yeah, correct.
11:01Yes, that's right.
11:02Okay, and you want them from 2 PM in the afternoon to 12 AM midnight?
11:07That's correct.
11:11You do, you do know, Mr. Renee, all that you have to follow the rules and regulations relative to the detail and so forth and so on?
11:18Absolutely.
11:18Um, we do have security, and then we've been working with the, um, the Fall River Police Department as well for detailing, um, and all that.
11:26So, okay, we've been doing this for a long time.
11:30I think it's a good thing.
11:31I mean, I think at this point in time it'll actually give you some test— a test run before you get your full one.
11:36That's, that's, that's the goal.
11:37So let's, so let's make sure it goes well.
11:40Absolutely.
11:40I actually have another question then.
11:42Hello, go right ahead.
11:43Since he, um, is getting one-day permits for these dates that Greg, he's gonna have to get a detail.
11:50I mean, he's on— like, when he opens his restaurant, he's not going to be made to get a detail unless he desires one himself.
11:57But this is— these— he's open, he's getting these dates because he ain't gonna have his ABCC, correct?
12:02That's right.
12:02So now he's got, I don't know, about 8 dates here, 8, 9 dates.
12:06Um, is he going to be— is he required to hire a police detail for these dates?
12:11Usually on a 1-day permit we do, but it's, it's a— this is kind of unusual.
12:15It's a unique situation.
12:16One-day permits aren't for an actual restaurant.
12:18Yeah, that's right.
12:20Like an event somewhere, like we do all every month.
12:22So because it's within the enclosure of the restaurant, then I'm not certain.
12:27I can certainly get more information on that, but I don't think it's necessarily required.
12:30I, I was going to bring up the same thing, that he's doing this in a unique situation to operate his business.
12:35I would not like to— you know, that's going to be an expensive proposition.
12:39Yeah, yeah.
12:39And I try to help the gentleman.
12:41Well, I don't have a— I do have private security.
12:44Um, I'm just trying to save you because you're going to have to hire a cop every night.
12:47Listen, I, I am a cop, so I don't care about you.
12:50I'd like you to hire cops, but it's kind of crazy that he has to.
12:53I don't think this falls under the umbrella of hiring a cop, in my opinion.
12:57Well, listen, why don't we entertain a motion to allow the 1-day liquor permits and to waive the police detail portion of this unless the For a police department deems it necessary.
13:09Well, we don't have to waive anything.
13:10We could just have Heather and this gentleman speak after Heather talks to the chief, maybe.
13:14Like, Heather can deal with her people at the station, get an opinion, and then deal with them.
13:19But I'd like to put it on record that we're going to have a waiver unless them— so people know that they don't just come in and they can go, oh, I'm going to call the police department, I don't need one.
13:28Okay, we're going to require— you know what I'm saying?
13:29Okay, yeah, I, I agree, and I was going to bring up the same thing.
13:33This is a unique situation The ABCC approval is not going to be back.
13:37He's trying to do something in the summer to obviously get it going.
13:41He's done all the work that the city has required him inside.
13:44I trust that because we got the okay, and I do know I was there and they said they were not going to allow this to open until he did the work.
13:51He wasn't even the owner.
13:52Yeah, so he's done it.
13:53So I'll make that motion.
13:55I'll entertain a motion to, uh, give the one-day liquor permits for Taste of Paradise, um, for, um Uh, 81, 822, 823, 826, 8— excuse me, 828, 829, 830, 94, 95, 96.
14:10And to have a waiver of the police— the, the requirement of police detail unless the Floral Police Department deems it reasonable and necessary under the circumstances.
14:19I'll make that exact motion in those words.
14:21And also, the reason why I'm doing it is because we're doing promotion.
14:24We have families coming in since we're opening.
14:27So that's why we have those weekends so we can invite people to come in.
14:31So for example, I asked authorization to have my birthday there.
14:35I personally hired 2 security guards, make sure, because we were— I asked Courtney for authorization and then everything went well.
14:43I got security.
14:44I know it's gonna cost money, but knowing Flint, we want to make sure we position ourselves.
14:49Well, I think it's going to be good for you, Mr. Renee, to show the track record that you're already going to open.
14:54You got 9 dates here.
14:55If there's a problem here, then you know, obviously it's going to show there's some things are going to be needed.
15:00So yeah, and even, even if the station says no, that's fine, we'll, we'll work with the license board because on the waiver.
15:06But if you feel you want to hire a detail, just call the station and hire a detail.
15:11Yeah, you know what I mean?
15:11If you feel— I think he knows that he can't have a problem.
15:14He knows he can't have a problem over there, that it would look very, very bad on his part, which I think he's going to try to do the right thing.
15:22Absolutely.
15:22So I'm going to second that motion.
15:24Uh, is there any questions on the motion?
15:26Hearing none, all those in favor?
15:27Aye.
15:27All those opposed?
15:28Good luck.
15:29Thank you very much.
15:31Sure.
15:32No, no, that's fine.
15:39508-663-7344.
15:43Okay, thank you very much.
15:44Thank you very much, guys.
15:45Good luck.
15:45See you later.
15:46Have a good night.
15:46Thank you.
15:47Uh, Article 4, transfer of Class 2 Fortier Auto Sales and Service, Inc., 605 Globe Street, Justin Fortier.
15:59Could you please state your name and address for the record, gentlemen?
16:03Justin Fortier, 613 Globe Street.
16:07And I'm Robert Fortier, and I'm 1634 Driftwood, Westport.
16:12Okay, so this is, you're transferring, you're related obviously?
16:15Yes.
16:15Oh yeah, yeah, I got 3 boys and this is my oldest.
16:19How long you been there, sir?
16:20'Cause I was a little kid that was there.
16:21Well, next year we're coming up on 100 years.
16:251927, my grandfather, uh, started a, um, gas station there, Sunoco Station.
16:32And I have a penny postcard of the old gas pumps with the crank handle with the glass.
16:37And it was, uh, quite a thing.
16:39Well, as a kid, I used to hang around Chupac and Father Kelly, so I know it's always been there since I've been little.
16:44Yeah, I'm third generation, and, uh, Justin is fourth stuff, you know.
16:48So I'm sure you're already involved, right?
16:50Obviously he's a master tech and makes me very proud.
16:54Any issues with the— any issues with the police?
16:56I don't think so.
16:58Anybody out there in favor?
16:59Anybody?
16:59We love to work on all the police cars too.
17:02Yeah, we, we do, uh, calibrations on them if they've been in an accident.
17:06Yeah, Mike's trying to get some business too.
17:08That's why he's been around for 100 years.
17:10I should try to get 40 around, you know.
17:14Um, so anyways, I'm— my dad came here with me in 1988 to transfer it to me.
17:21Now it's my turn.
17:23Good for you, Michael.
17:25That's wild.
17:26All right, motion.
17:26Yeah, I want to make a motion to transfer the Class 2 license for the, um, the, the father and son Fournier team.
17:34Okay, I'll second that.
17:36Any questions on a motion here?
17:37And then all those in favor, aye.
17:38All those opposed?
17:39Good luck, fellas.
17:40Thank you very much.
17:41We just had— there should be a repair and dealer.
17:44Well, we're going through the repair license too, but that's another— I think, I think, yeah.
17:51And what we were trying to do, Courtney explained it to me, is we're trying to increase our number of cars on the lot.
17:58And about 8 years ago, we bought a house behind us and knocked it down and made a much bigger lot and gave us access to the Well, wait a minute then.
18:07I apologize because I may have jumped the gun.
18:08How many cars is it, the existing license?
18:1114.
18:1114.
18:12So I had told them until Glenn goes out to inspect, yeah, confirms the number, that it'll have to be 14.
18:19And we don't think he's done that yet.
18:21You'll have to come back.
18:23Yeah, before the increase.
18:24Yeah.
18:24Okay.
18:25I think you got to come back just to, to, uh, change the premises.
18:28Exactly.
18:29It'll be a formality, obviously, but if you have the space, but Okay.
18:33All right, thank you, gentlemen.
18:34Okay, very good.
18:35Thank you very much.
18:36Have a great day, and to another 100 years.

19:11Okay.
19:12And, uh, the address for the business would be 933 Pleasant Street.
19:17And, um, now is this an existing restaurant now?
19:21No.
19:22Well, it used to be Popeyes.
19:23We took it over.
19:24Yeah, I got you.
19:26Yeah, looks nice in there.
19:29All right, so you're asking for a common fixtures license.
19:32The health inspector did send a note over to the license board saying that, um, that he's okay with this moving forward tonight with us, but there's still some things that got to be done.
19:44You're aware of that, right?
19:45Yeah, we're working on, um, everything that's been pointed out.
19:48Okay, so, but you're not going to be able to get this license until Uh, Mr. DeSoto from the health inspector says everything's done okay.
19:55Yeah, that's fine.
19:56All right.
19:58And so it's a family-run operation?
20:00Yes, sir.
20:00Um, there's, um, 20, so this will be our 21st restaurant.
20:07So you got 21?
20:08Yeah.
20:09God bless you, young man.
20:12Um, questions?
20:12So it's going to just operate, I can see, like Popeyes did.
20:15What's your hours of operation?
20:16I'm sorry again, I keep— 10 AM 10 PM.
20:1910 AM to 10 PM?
20:21Yes, sir.
20:217 days?
20:27Yes.
20:28And who's gonna— let me see, it's probably in here.
20:36So your sister's going to be in charge?
20:39Um, well, we're gonna have, uh, our manager there.
20:44He's, um, Darwin.
20:45Okay, he's going to be the person mostly in the building and around.
20:49Yeah.
20:49Okay.
20:50All right, anybody in favor of it, this petition?
20:52Anybody opposed?
20:54Michael, uh, make a motion to grant the common victor's license to Baja's Fresh Grill, um, at 933 Pleasant Street, to Mr. Martin.
21:03Thank you.
21:04And I will second that motion.
21:06Any questions on the motion?
21:07Hearing none, all those in favor?
21:08Aye.
21:09All those opposed?
21:10Good luck, young man.
21:10Take care.
21:11Thank you, guys.
21:13Okay, now we have a pledge of collateral.
21:15TTC Entertainment LLC, 1019 South Main Street, Tan Nhang.
21:25Tan Nhang.
21:26Okay.
21:26Yeah.
21:27Um, could you please state your name and address for the record?
21:30My name is Hong Tran, attorney for the applicant, uh, 652 Park Avenue in Worcester, Mass.
21:34Okay.
21:36My understanding on this is that this has all been approved, and in the approval process, now the bank wants the license pledged.
21:47Yeah, it should have closed a while ago, but the, the seller passed away.
21:51I heard while we're trying to close it, and the seller's attorney needed to do the probate.
21:56Now that the probate's done, getting ready to close, and the bank says, hey, where's the pledge?
22:00So that's what's getting us to come back to pledge to look at license for the, for the bank, for the loan.
22:07Okay.
22:09All right.
22:11I mean, it's, it's, it's a— this is the old pierogi place, right?
22:16Yeah.
22:16Yes.
22:17Yeah.
22:171019 South Main.
22:18It's going to be a— oh, it's going to be like a noodle place and stuff.
22:21Correct.
22:21It's going to be a new, new pho place.
22:24Yes.
22:24That's, that's going to be successful, I think.
22:26I think it's going to be great down here.
22:27People love that.
22:28Yeah, yeah, it's just a— it's just a pledge of this license that wasn't done when they initially applied for the transfer.
22:35Um, this is just to clean up some legal proceedings in terms of the bank being protected.
22:40Um, I don't have any issues.
22:42Anybody in favor?
22:43Anybody opposed?
22:45Uh, hearing none, entertain a motion.
22:47Michael?
22:47Yes, I'd like to make a motion to grant the pledge of collateral to TTC Entertainment LLC.
22:541019 South Main Street.
22:56I'll second that motion.
22:57Questions on the motion?
22:57Hearing none, all those in favor?
22:59Aye.
22:59All those opposed?
23:00All good.
23:00Good luck.
23:01May I ask one question before I leave?
23:03Does this get, um, after it's approved, since it's already approved with the ABCC board, does this get sent back to the ABCC board and we wait for that process again?
23:09I believe so.
23:10Yeah, got it.
23:11Thank you.
23:11I believe so.
23:12Am I correct on saying that?
23:13Yes.
23:14So I will send them a licensing authority certification saying that we voted to approve the pledge that gets sent to the ABCC, and then they'll reach out to you guys once they've completed their review.
23:25Awesome, thank you so much.
23:27Okay, um, transfer of license, MRS Inc., DBA Supreme Mott, 1012 Beaufort Street, Raj P. Patel.
23:42Good evening.
23:43For the record, my name is Peter Filino.
23:45I am a lawyer lawyer, and I am here on behalf of the applicant, Mr. Patel.
23:50In terms of the subject application, so the current license resides at Moe's Mini Mart on Pleasant Street, almost across the street from Leonard's Package Store, which I've been in front of you for.
24:01Yep.
24:02Uh, the gentleman at Moe's is selling the license to the Patels, who are then going to move it next to Columbus Park.
24:10So they own the gas station on I think that'd be BD and Bedford.
24:14Schiziano?
24:15Yes.
24:16So the license will be moved from Pleasant Street there.
24:19So I'm asking for 3 things: authorization of transfer of the license to Mr. Patel's entity known as MRS Inc., a change of manager because the current manager, the gentleman that operates Moe's, is obviously not going to be the manager anymore.
24:33Mr. Patel will be the manager.
24:36So change location, transfer, and And change of manager.
24:40So those are the 3 things.
24:43And for the record, Mr. Patel has plenty of experience.
24:47This is a family business for him.
24:48Essentially, he's involved in Economy Liquors on North Main Street.
24:52You see his dad sitting behind him, who owns Leonard's and has come before you as well.
24:56So it's a family business, and he's definitely an experienced operator.
25:01So, so the old Extra Mile we're talking about?
25:03Yes.
25:04Mobile gas station.
25:04So that's going to be a package store now?
25:06Uh, beer and wine.
25:07Beer and wine.
25:08And, uh, I should also note for the record that we had to go to the zoning board for this because the sale of alcohol taken off premise is not allowed in that neighborhood on Bedford Street.
25:18So we've previously been to the zoning board to get that authority to come before you.
25:23What about the gas pumps?
25:24What happens?
25:24That's going to stay the same.
25:26There's gonna be gas there too?
25:27It's gonna be a gas station.
25:29Oh, all right.
25:30Okay.
25:31Hours of operation changing?
25:33I don't think so, right?
25:34You're going to keep the same hours?
25:34No, no changes in the hours of operation.
25:37Okay, so you're just going to use coolers and you're going to now have beer and wine?
25:40Yeah, everything else is going to remain the same, correct?
25:44Okay, so just a transfer of license, that's all we're saying.
25:47I know, you know, said a bunch of things there.
25:50Tony Salino's also— 3 boxes checked.
25:52So transfer a license, then we need to change the location of license, and we need to change the manager of the license because you're transferring it from Pleasant Street over to— I'm just going to say that in my motion, that's all.
26:05Right.
26:06Okay.
26:07All right.
26:07I mean, police are good, right?
26:09Obviously they have other licenses.
26:10So, um, anybody in favor?
26:13Anybody opposed?
26:14So I'll make a motion to transfer the license, transfer the location of license, and transfer the manager of the license, um, to Mr., uh, for Mr. Patel.
26:23Beer and wine.
26:24I'll second that motion.
26:26Questions on the motion?
26:27Hearing none, all those in favor, all those opposed, aye.
26:30All set.
26:31Thank you.
26:31Good luck.
26:32Actually, if I don't say this right, nobody— please don't get upset.
26:43Sharab Inc., DBA Ameristore, they're 1363 South Main Street.
26:50This is not going to be— Bharat, Bharatuma Patel.
26:56Yes.
26:56Is that close?
26:58Close enough.
27:00Okay, name and address for the record, please.
27:03Uh, my house address is 39 Somerset, Mass.
27:0802725.
27:10Mr. Medeiros, please state your name and address for the record.
27:13Good evening, Mr. Chairman, members of the board.
27:14My name is Jeff Medeiros with the law firm of Burke, Espanola, Van Collin, located here in the city of Fall River, representing the petitioner, Mr. Patel.
27:24So we're here this evening to transfer a liquor license from Macedonia Inc. to Surabath Inc. at 1363 South Main Street.
27:37It's the location— is a gas station convenience store at 1363 South Main Street.
27:44As a matter of fact, the property abuts to Asia One, who is also here this evening.
27:50It's currently a gas station, beer and wine convenience store, and we have a signed purchase and sale agreement for that location.
28:00Mr. Patel owns the real estate that the store is located on, and the parties that currently have the beer and wine license wish to sell to Mr. Patel because they want to retire?
28:16Nothing's going to change.
28:17Nothing's going to change.
28:18The current license that's in Macedonia, GR, the hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 8 AM to 11 PM, and the Sunday hours are going to stay the same, 10 AM to 11 PM.
28:33So as Attorney Salino just stated, I don't think it's necessary because this is a transfer from one entity to another entity.
28:42But, um, Mr. Patel is going to be the manager of the, uh, the store, or manager of the, um, right?
28:52Same thing, beer wine.
28:53So yeah, the motion will just be everything that you just said, Michael, except for change of location, correct?
28:58Okay.
28:59Okay.
29:00Um, anybody, uh, in favor of this petition?
29:02Everybody opposed?
29:03Michael?
29:04So I'll make a motion to transfer the license and the manager, um, for 1363 South Main Street, um, Samara Incorporated.
29:15This gentleman— I'll second the motion.
29:17Um, any, any questions on a motion?
29:19Hearing none, all those in favor?
29:21Aye.
29:21All those opposed?
29:22Um, thank you very much.
29:23Courtney, I just noticed that when I, um, I didn't check off the change of manager because I thought it was because But on the ABCC, yeah, that's okay if you want to send me a revised— that first page tomorrow.
29:35And then also I tried to upload the payment for the, uh, advertisement.
29:41Yeah, but it's not on the, um, the City of Fall River webs— you know how the, uh, the license for the legal advertisement.
29:49So do I just have to drop off the check?
29:50You would just drop off a check to our office and then I can give you a receipt.
29:53I'll do that tomorrow.
29:54And I did see you did the abutter notification, so I added that to the file.
29:58I uploaded that.
29:58Yeah.
30:00Okay, thank you.
30:00You're welcome.
30:01All right, thank you so much.
30:04Entertainment.
30:08Danny's Dockside Inc., 180 River Street.
30:12Cara O'Connell.
30:14This is you too?
30:15Okay, well, just for, just for the record, could you please state your name for the record?
30:18Jeff Medeiros again, for the petitioner Danny's Dockside Inc.
30:23I had a conversation with Mr. Medeiros, and, um, I actually, actually had a conversation with Kara O'Connell.
30:29I, I'm going to recommend we table this.
30:31They don't— the establishment's not open, so I don't think we got— we, we should be in the business right now like we've just did with Taste of Paradise a number of times.
30:40You're not ready.
30:40They're not ready to open.
30:42I'm not going to act on it.
30:43I believe we should table it.
30:45Whenever she's ready, probably won't be till next year.
30:47I don't want to have to pay the fee again.
30:49We'll leave it open.
30:50When she comes back, we'll take it off the table.
30:52And I think that's the right way to go because it's consistent to what we've done to everybody else.
30:56That's what we're— after talking to my client and having a conversation with Mr.
31:01Brilliant, we understand how the city feels with regard to granting an entertainment license, as well as the fact that we are still going through the site plan review.
31:13Process with the City of Fall River.
31:15So we haven't opened yet, so therefore the point— it's moot at this point.
31:20So that's why we would ask that the motion— entertain a motion to table.
31:25Motion to table.
31:26I'll second the motion to table.
31:27Questions on the motion?
31:29Hearing none, all those in favor?
31:30Aye.
31:30All those opposed?
31:31Thank you.
31:31Thank you very much.
31:32Have a good evening.
31:33Is there approval of me to sign?
31:38I don't know if I put them out there by accident, the minutes.
31:42That's okay if you don't.
31:43We'll put it next week, next month.
31:44It's okay if you want to table it.
31:46Maybe I think I forgot them in the office.
31:47No, we'll just hold.
31:48We don't even have to table it.
31:49We'll just move it to next month.
31:50They're not ready.
31:50That's fine.
31:51Uh, motion to adjourn.
31:52Motion made.
31:53Second.
31:54All those in favor?
31:54Aye.
31:55Those opposed?
31:56All good.
