Canton Commission approves liquor-license transfer to Margarita’s LLC and required operating agreements
Summary
The Canton City Commission unanimously approved transferring retail on‑sale and package off‑sale liquor licenses to Margarita’s LLC at 111 South Main Street and separately approved the state‑required operating agreements. The applicants said they expect to open in about a month.
The Canton City Commission voted to approve the transfer of retail on‑sale and package off‑sale liquor licenses to Margarita’s LLC for the property at 111 South Main Street and also approved the operating agreements required by state law.
The public hearing on the license transfer was opened by Mayor Lindstrom, who read that affidavits had been submitted by the prior owner (identified in the record as David Dursum of Bushwackers). Applicant Luis Guzman and a woman identifying herself as Andrea answered basic questions from commissioners about remodeling timelines. Andrea said they were hoping to open in “maybe one more month.” When asked how many days a week they would operate, the response from the applicant was “every day.”
After the public hearing was closed, a motion to approve the license transfer was made and seconded. The commission called the roll; ayes were recorded and the motion carried. Meeting minutes noted that property taxes were current on the site as required by state law.
The governing body then moved to approve the operating agreements that state law requires for liquor license holders. That motion also passed on a roll call vote.
The applicants did not provide a detailed opening date beyond the rough timing discussed during the hearing. The commission did not attach additional conditions to the approvals beyond the standard requirement that taxes are current.
