Town Council Tables Liquor License Transfer Hearing for Kitson Liquors to September

A public hearing regarding the transfer of a liquor license for Kitson Liquors was tabled during the Town of Glocester's recent council meeting, with a new hearing scheduled for September 18, 2025. The request, submitted by Lisa M. Kitson, president of Kitson Liquors, aims to facilitate the transition of the Class A liquor license to a new owner, Sonnabel Patel, who will continue operations at the same location on Putnam Pike.

The council unanimously agreed to continue the hearing, ensuring that all necessary discussions and considerations are addressed before the final decision is made. This move reflects the town's commitment to thorough oversight in licensing matters.

In another significant development, the council approved a new liquor license for Robin Angelo LLC, doing business as Delfino's Kitchen and Corner Store, located at 365 Snake Hill Road. Carlo Delfino III, representing the business, outlined plans for a takeout-focused establishment offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner options, along with convenience store items. The anticipated opening is set for September, pending health department inspections.

The council's approval of Delfino's Kitchen is contingent upon several conditions, including payment of town taxes and necessary health and safety approvals. This new venture is expected to enhance local dining options and contribute to the community's convenience.

Additionally, the council addressed routine matters, including the tabling of minutes from the previous meeting and financial reports, ensuring ongoing transparency and accountability in town governance. The meeting concluded with discussions on various appointments to local boards and commissions, highlighting the town's active engagement in community affairs.
