New Main Street retailer explains plan for limited high-end liquor sales to council
Summary
Elizabeth Hurley, owner of a new men's accessory shop on Main Street, told councilors she is applying for a larger retail liquor license to sell a small selection of high-end whiskeys and brandies and emphasized the business will not be a typical liquor store.
Elizabeth Hurley, who identified herself at the meeting as the owner of a new men's accessory shop on Main Street, appeared during public input to explain an application for an expanded retail liquor license.
Hurley said the shop sells hats, belts, wallets and grooming products and that she seeks the license to offer a small selection of high-end whiskeys and brandies. "It's not gonna be a liquor store," Hurley said, adding, "I doubt that there's gonna be anything below $50 a bottle." She said the store is not seeking to be a discount liquor outlet and described the request as a complement to her retail merchandise. Hurley also said she planned a grand opening the following day.
Council members asked whether the presence of alcohol had been disclosed in the public notice and said that omission explained earlier questions and a prior "no" vote by one member at the last meeting. One council member thanked Hurley for attending to explain her plan in person.
The segments provided do not include a final council vote on the license application; the item was presented and public input was recorded. The council will consider the license per its normal licensing procedures and any subsequent roll call or formal action will be reflected in the official minutes.
