Wagon Creamery granted common victualler license after opening for takeout

The Board of License Commissioners approved a new common victualler license for Duga Corp., doing business as Wagon Creamery, at 19 School Street at its May 19 meeting.

The board voted 4-0 with one member absent to approve the new license, conditioned on payment of taxes and fees and approval by city departments and inspections. Applicant Romy told the board the shop opened for takeout on May 5; Board of Health inspections had been completed and staff reported the applicant had a certification from the health department.

"We already opened, on the Cinco de Mayo, which is on a 5 5. So we were doing takeouts, since then," Romy told commissioners. Romy said the business is currently selling hard ice cream and coffee and that any future plans (for sandwiches or soft-serve) would require additional work with the Board of Health and approvals before implementation.

Commissioners asked about the presence of a kitchen and whether seating was being used. Romy said the shop has no kitchen and that chairs were placed on tables to indicate there was no seating; he said he had followed takeout-only instructions from the health department prior to receiving a victualler license. The board approved the application and set operating hours Monday–Sunday, 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., subject to standard conditions.

The board did not take additional follow-up actions beyond the standard departmental conditions required for new licenses.
