Council approves Dunkin' license transfer and waives fee for Christchurch wine-tasting fundraiser
Summary
The council approved a new victualing license for a Dunkin' location at 1783 Lewis and granted a Class F special-event wine-tasting permit (fee waived) to Christchurch to raise funds for the church pantry; Christchurch estimated about $2,000 in proceeds.
The council approved two routine licensing items: a new victualing license tied to 1783 Lewis (an existing Dunkin' location) and a Class F special-event alcohol permit for Christchurch's Valentine's Day wine-tasting fundraiser.
An applicant for the Lewis Street location described the business as an existing Dunkin' that had changed ownership and clarified it was not a transfer of an existing victualing license but a new application; the council voted to grant the license.
Asher Monto, representing Christchurch, said the one-evening tasting is intended to support the church food pantry and thrift shop and estimated it would raise about $2,000. "We have the Lincoln Liquors donating the wine for the event," Monto said; councilors approved the event permit and waived the fee.
Why it matters: The actions support local businesses and community organizations: the Dunkin' approval maintains a neighborhood retailer and the church fundraiser aims to support increased demand for pantry services.
What’s next: The events will proceed under the terms of the licenses and any required inspections and permit conditions.
