Northmoor approves business and liquor licenses for Game Time Tavern and Pizzeria

The Northmoor Board of Aldermen on Nov. 26 approved a business license and a liquor license for Game Time Tavern and Pizzeria, owned by Tyson and Desiree Ross, during a special meeting at City Hall.

Mayor Lynda Wilson and the four-member board voted to approve the licenses by roll call 4–0 after hearing from the applicants. The Rosses told the board they purchased the former MVP Pizza location and plan hours of operation Wednesday through Sunday, roughly 11:00 a.m. to midnight or 1:30 a.m.

Tyson Ross addressed a prior legal matter, describing an ‘‘obstructing/conduct’’ incident from 2003 as resulting in misdemeanors; he said he attended related classes at the time. Desiree Ross said Rebecca Henshaw is listed as the managing officer on licensing paperwork because Henshaw lives locally; the couple said they intend to relocate to the Northland. Desiree told the board their other business, The Dotte Spot in Kansas City, Kansas, has seen about a 25% revenue increase over the past two years.

Aldermen offered marketing suggestions and emphasized the importance of consistent hours and operations as conditions for community confidence. The motion to approve the licenses was moved by Alderman Joe Harris, seconded by Alderman Robin Griffith, and passed by a 4–0 roll-call vote.

The board proceeded to other agenda items, including approval of an audit contract. The meeting adjourned later that evening.
