Staff presents Time Mart retail-license application and downtown special-event permits
Summary
Licensing staff told the Tuscaloosa City Council about an application by Abu Dhabi Incorporated d/b/a Time Mart for retail beer (off-premise) and retail table wine at 2215 Fifteenth Street, and about multiple single-day special-event permits requested by Downtown Entertainment.
Licensing staff presented two alcohol-license matters at the Tuscaloosa City Council meeting. The first was an application from Abu Dhabi Incorporated d/b/a Time Mart for retail beer (off-premise only) and retail table wine at premises listed as 2215 Fifteenth Street, described as across from Wells Fargo Bank and the Riverside Fire Department.
The second set of requests came from Downtown Entertainment, which applied for multiple single-day special retail permits tied to game-day and alumni events. Licensing staff listed several events and dates, including Parents Weekend on Feb. 21, an April 5 event called “5-5,” a Barnyard event on April 18 at a location described as Mosenham Parkway, a March 1 event and a March 28 Parents Weekend. Staff said some events are hosted by Greek organizations; one event was described as a Zeta/Tau Alpha-related gathering.
Councilmembers asked whether the special events occur on the same weekend and where specific venues are located. Licensing staff replied the events are on different weekends and said they would provide exact dates for one of the zone events.
No council vote on these licenses is recorded in the provided transcript excerpt. Licensing staff identified the Time Mart premises and summarized the requested permits; councilmembers asked clarifying questions about scheduling and venues.
