Chelsea panel approves earlier Sunday service for Curley’s and extended hours for Trinity Naturals
Loading...
Summary
The commission approved Curley’s Restaurant to begin serving alcohol at 10 a.m. on Sundays and approved adjusted cannabis retail hours for Trinity Naturals (longer Sunday–Wednesday hours and maintained later hours Thu–Sat), with police noting no significant call‑log issues for cannabis stores.
Two hours‑change requests drew relatively brief discussion and were approved by the Chelsea Licensing Commission on Nov. 13.
Curley’s Restaurant at 150 Broadway asked to move its Sunday alcohol service start from 11 a.m. to 10 a.m.; owner Efraim Molina explained the request was to match state earliest service times and meet customer demand. Commissioners confirmed there were no layout changes and clarified entertainment license elements (live bands, DJs); Sergeant Chung reported no recent call‑log problems at the establishment. The commission approved the earlier Sunday serving time by voice vote.
DMS Trinity LLC, doing business as Trinity Naturals, requested longer retail hours — seeking parity with a neighboring cannabis shop that had recently extended hours. Owner/manager Dennis Piondo Santos said the later hours had been a successful trial and would help staffing and employment. Police described administrative checks and limited complaints at cannabis retail locations and recommended cautious observation. Commissioners approved an adjustment that effectively extended Sunday–Wednesday to 10 p.m. on a trial basis and kept Thursday–Saturday hours at the later time recently granted, with the commission noting it would monitor results before further changes.
Both approvals came with routine reminders about signage, camera retention and prompt cooperation with police administrative requests.
