New owner seeks beer-and-wine liquor license for BP at 101 S. Lincoln Way
Summary
Village staff told the board the BP at 101 South Lincoln Way is under new ownership and the new owner is seeking a beer-and-wine liquor license after prior owners lost a license over unpaid fines and site disrepair. No formal vote was taken; staff said the owner plans to demolish a disused car wash and is obtaining bids.
Mayor Goffino and trustees heard a request April 7 to reinstate a beer-and-wine liquor license for the BP gas station at 101 South Lincoln Way after the property changed hands.
Steve, a village staff member, told the board that the previous operator’s liquor license had been revoked years earlier after the site — particularly its car wash — fell into disrepair and the operator accumulated fines that were not resolved. He said the property has a new owner who has agreed to demolish the car wash and is obtaining bids to complete that work. "They do wanna reopen with beer and wine liquor license as allowed," Steve said.
The board did not take a formal vote at the meeting. Steve described the current status as the owner working on site remediation and pursuing the license application; he did not state any specific timetable or a hearing date.
Why it matters: a liquor license reinstatement would allow on-site sales of beer and wine at a prominent Village commercial location. The transcript records no motion or approval; the matter remains at the staff/application stage.
The village staff will continue processing the application and inspect whether site issues cited during the earlier revocation have been corrected before any licensing action is finalized.
No further action was recorded at the meeting.
