Brunswick City Council approves multiple 2025 alcohol beverage licenses for local businesses

The Glynn County Commission meeting on May 15, 2025, featured significant discussions surrounding the issuance of several alcoholic beverage licenses, reflecting the county's commitment to supporting local businesses and enhancing community offerings.

One of the key decisions made during the meeting was the approval of a 2025 alcohol beverage license for Comfort Suites, located at 25 Ashton Drive in Brunswick. The license allows for retail package sales of malt beverages and wine, with Sunday sales permitted. The application, presented by licensee Balish Patel, received no objections during the public hearing, highlighting community support for expanding beverage options at local hotels.

Similarly, the commission approved a license for Breezy's Bistro, a new restaurant at 135 Shoppers Way, allowing the sale of malt beverages, wine, and liquor for on-premises consumption. Lawrence Gibson, the owner, emphasized the importance of this license for his business's success, and community member Patricia Ann Barnard voiced her support, noting the need to extend such rights to all local restaurants.

Another notable approval was granted to Harish Patel for Shree Shiv Shanti LLC, operating as True by Hilton at 310 Frontage Road. This license also permits retail package sales of malt beverages and wine, further enhancing the hospitality offerings in the area.

The commission also addressed a provisional license for Buc-ee's, a convenience store located at 6900 Highway 99. This provisional license allows for the sale of malt beverages and wine, with community member Patricia Barnard advocating for the store's positive economic impact and job creation in the region.

In addition to the alcohol licenses, the meeting briefly touched on an abandonment request for an unimproved area on Broadway Street, although this discussion was postponed due to technical difficulties.

Overall, the meeting underscored the commission's focus on fostering a business-friendly environment while responding to community needs. The approvals of these licenses are expected to contribute positively to the local economy and enhance the variety of services available to residents and visitors alike.
