The Lawrence City Licensing Board voted Jan. 7 to grant a common victualler license for Taino's Fried Chicken & Cafe.

Applicant Luis Fernandez described the business as a re-opening and change of business model at a location previously operated as Adios Market; he said ownership and management remain the same. Police and fire representatives reported no concerns with the proposed location.

Commissioner Morales moved to approve the common victualler license for the address listed on the application; Commissioner Laird seconded. On roll call both commissioners voted yes and the motion passed 2-0. "Thank you very much," Fernandez said after the vote.

The board recorded no conditions on the approval beyond standard licensing requirements and wished the applicant success.
