After public hearing, Wheatland council approves retail-license transfer and bar-and-grill license
Summary
Following a public hearing, the council approved a transfer of a retail liquor license to a travel-center operator and granted a bar-and-grill license for a bowling-alley venue; applicants said they will partition alcohol sales and invest license proceeds in local improvements.
The Wheatland City Council approved the transfer of a retail liquor license from Big Dog Holding LLC to a buyer and granted a bar-and-grill liquor license to a local bowling-alley operator after a public hearing.
Kevin (S10), who identified himself as the Fast Stop owner, said Fast Stop is acquiring the retail liquor license and plans to use license revenue to improve the bowling-alley venue, add a patio and expand the bar area. He told the council sales of alcohol would be partitioned from other retail areas to comply with regulations.
An applicant representative (S5) described the buyer as a travel-center operation that intends to close off the alcohol area and to maintain strict ID checks; the applicant said violations would result in immediate termination of staff privileges. Council members asked routine operational questions about sales area size and storage; responses indicated the sales area was expected to be about 10 by 12 feet and that final layout decisions were pending.
Council members moved and approved the transfer of the retail liquor license and approved a separate bar-and-grill license for Big D Holding LLC (doing business as Big Dogs Lights). Motions carried by affirmative voice votes during the public hearing.
The council did not provide a roll-call vote tally in the public record during the session; the clerk handled standard procedural questions about licensing.
