The Liquor License Commission voted July 23 to approve transfer of the wine and malt beverages package store license for Quick Mart at 603 Wobraham Road from Ella Kay Realty, LLC to 5 Star 603 Wobraham Inc., naming Mian Sabir Salim manager of record, contingent on the licensing office receiving required TIP certifications.

The applicant was represented by attorney Neil Phillips; Mian Sabir Salim and a family member were present. Salim told commissioners he has worked in the industry about seven years, primarily as an employee, and that some current clerks hold TIP certification while he and other staffers will obtain training if the transfer is approved.

The chair emphasized that TIP certification and maintenance of on-premises records are the manager’s responsibility and noted the manager “will be responsible and you will have to answer to this board” for any violations. The commission’s motion to approve the transfer was conditioned on the licensing office receiving copies of TIP certifications; the motion passed unanimously (Commissioner Kane, Commissioner D’Angelo Antonio, Commissioner Ramirez, Commissioner Espinosa voted yes).

The applicant said business hours for alcohol sales will mirror current practice: daily start times of 6 a.m. for the gas station and 8 a.m. for alcohol sales (10 a.m. Sundays), with alcohol hours 8 a.m.–11 p.m. most days. Salim said he plans to work approximately eight hours per day on site and employ 1–2 additional clerks.

The commission recorded the conditional approval and instructed the applicant to keep TIP certificates on the premises for inspection upon request by police or licensing officers.
