Gardner City Council approves a slate of secondhand‑dealer licenses
Summary
On June 1 the Gardner City Council unanimously approved multiple secondhand‑dealer licenses after safety‑committee review, including licenses for Gardener Candlepin Bowling LLC, GameStop #3725, Hopeful Boutique, Salvation Army and others; the council also suspended rules to address one application immediately.
The Gardner City Council unanimously approved a series of secondhand‑dealer licenses and related business permits during its June 1 meeting following safety‑committee recommendations.
The council approved an application from Gardener Candlepin Bowling LLC at 123 Main Street (Item 11809) after the safety committee reported the applicant was in good standing. Councilor Tone moved to approve and Councilor Mack seconded; the motion passed on a voice vote.
Similar motions carried for GameStop #3725 (376 Tony Boulevard, Item 11810), House of Peace and Education Inc., doing business as Hopeful Boutique (29 Pleasant Street, Item 11811), the Salvation Army (8 Union Square, Item 11812), and Gardener Coins and Cards, Inc. (18 Parker Street, Item 11820). For each item the safety committee reported the applicant was up to date on taxes and in good standing; motions were made by councilors and approved by voice vote.
Council also voted to suspend the rules to take up Item 11826 (EcoATM LLC, 677 Tempany Boulevard). The safety committee and the police chief reviewed the EcoATM application; Councilor Tassone moved approval, seconded by Councilor Kazinskus, and the council approved the license.
Why it matters: these approvals clear the way for the listed businesses to operate as licensed secondhand dealers in Gardner. The decisions followed routine committee review and passed on voice votes without recorded roll‑call tallies.
What happens next: the clerk will process the approved licenses and make them part of the official meeting record.
