Commission reverts 24 Market Street restaurant license back to Mandarin Asian Bistro
Summary
The Licensing Commission approved reversing a previously approved transfer for the all-alcohol restaurant license for 24 Market Street, returning it to Lucky Lantern Inc. (Mandarin Asian Bistro) after the proposed buyer never took possession.
The Lowell Licensing Commission on Aug. 28 approved a request to revert an all-alcohol restaurant license for 24 Market Street to the original licensee, Lucky Lantern Inc., doing business as Mandarin Asian Bistro. The commission heard from Yu Zhou and Ramla Glinton, who said the prior license transfer was not completed after local and state approvals and the proposed new licensee never took possession of the approved license or the property. The commission secretary confirmed communication with the Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission (ABCC) and said the ABCC expected the reversion to be handled locally. Commissioner Krieger moved to reverse the approved transfer; Commissioner Tang seconded the motion. The commission approved the reversion by voice vote. Why it matters: reverting the license returns alcohol-license control of the 24 Market Street restaurant to the prior licensee after a transfer was not completed, and the ABCC was notified in the process. Details: the action was recorded as a simple approval; no roll-call tally was recorded in the public transcript.
