Kenosha aldermen approve renewal of Class A beer and liquor license for 6830 Fourteenth Avenue
Summary
Kenosha aldermen voted June 16 to renew a Class A beer and Class A liquor license for a convenience store at 6830 Fourteenth Avenue after hearing that the business is closed for renovations and plans to add a small kitchen.
Kenosha aldermen voted June 16 to renew a Class A beer and Class A liquor license for a convenience store at 6830 Fourteenth Avenue by voice vote.
The license renewal was approved after brief discussion of the business’s operations and recent renovations. The applicant, Alina Bearhead, identified herself as the owner and told the meeting the store has operated "like, five years now" and that it primarily sells groceries and candy rather than liquor. A resident who spoke during public comment said the area has been quieter since the business temporarily closed for renovations: "No loud noise. No cars speeding up and down the street," the resident said.
The city attorney’s recommendation to grant the renewal was read into the record; the transcript records a motion to approve and an affirmative voice vote. The meeting record does not include a named mover or seconder, and the vote was recorded as "aye" by those present.
Aldermen asked for details in the application packet; one questioned whether an updated business plan had been filed and noted there was no clear breakdown of expected sales categories in the materials before the board. Bearhead said the store carries groceries — breads, ready meals, rice, cereal and milk — and that it "doesn't really sell liquor" and mostly serves local children and neighborhood customers. She also said the business is building a small kitchen in the back and intends to serve simple prepared items such as fries and wings.
Bearhead said the store closed temporarily because of building issues, including a floor problem she described as a safety concern for children. After discussing the packet and hearing public comment, aldermen moved to approve the renewal. The applicant asked whether she should remain for a second meeting; the record shows she was advised to stay.
The minutes do not specify conditions attached to the city attorney’s recommendation, nor do they list individual roll-call votes; the renewal was approved by voice vote with all present saying "aye."
