Dickinson panel approves 2026 liquor and tobacco license renewals; one tobacco application pending
Summary
City staff presented and the commission approved the city's 2026 liquor and tobacco license renewals. Staff reported 50 tobacco renewals submitted (one still pending) and listed license counts by category for liquor renewals; staff named several businesses that indicated they would not renew.
The Dickinson City Commission voted unanimously on Dec. 2 to approve city staff recommendations for 2026 liquor and tobacco license renewals.
City staff (Mister Dossinger) told commissioners the 2026 liquor renewals include 18 commercial on‑sale/off‑sale renewals, two motel/hotel renewals, three lodge/club renewals, 14 restaurant renewals, one beer‑and‑wine concession renewal, one microbrewery renewal and three beer‑only renewals. Staff also said three establishments chose not to seek renewal and named Edgewood, Dickinson LLC, Island Cuisine LLC and Eyewear Concepts in the presentation; the transcript records an inconsistency between the spoken count and the number of names provided.
On tobacco licensing, Dossinger said 50 tobacco license renewals have been submitted; one establishment had not yet returned paperwork and would be brought forward when complete. He said city administration recommended approval and that background checks for liquor renewals had been completed.
Commissioners moved and seconded the respective approvals; each vote was recorded as unanimous aye. There were no public comments on either set of renewals.
What it means: Establishments with renewed licenses may continue lawful sale of alcohol and tobacco under existing city regulations. One tobacco application remains pending until the applicant submits required paperwork. The transcript contains an inconsistency in the liquor non‑renewal count and named businesses; city staff should be asked to reconcile the list for official records if needed.
Next steps: Staff will process renewed licenses and follow up on the pending tobacco application when paperwork is received.
