Board approves common victualler license and name change for Papi Picapollo Inc.; inspection confirmation required

The City of Lawrence licensing board approved a common victualler license for Papi Picapollo Inc., a name change of an existing food-service business at 105 South Union Street. The applicant said the business is the same owner and operation as before, with a new name.

Commissioners asked whether the owner was the same and whether the change was primarily a renaming; the applicant confirmed the owner and operation remain the same. The board noted the fire department had not yet completed an inspection; licensing staff instructed the owner to return to the licensing office to confirm the inspection before final administrative completion.

Commissioner Mogale moved to approve the common victualler license; Commissioner Leaher seconded. The transcript records yes votes by Commissioner Morales and Commissioner Leaher and records the motion as passed. Board members reminded the owner to confirm inspection and administrative steps with the licensing office.

The license was approved for the business at 105 South Union Street, contingent on the standard follow-up of inspections and administrative confirmation as required by licensing procedure. The transcript records the owner’s acknowledgment and a brief discussion about correcting contact information for future notices.
