Crested Butte council renews Pitas in Paradise liquor license after public hearing
Summary
At its May 18 meeting the Crested Butte Town Council voted unanimously to renew Pitaboy Inc. d/b/a Pitas in Paradise’s liquor license for May 18, 2026–May 18, 2027, after a public hearing noted an earlier violation of the Colorado Liquor and Beer Code; the owner attended and no public commenters opposed the renewal.
The Crested Butte Town Council voted unanimously May 18 to renew the liquor license for Pitaboy Inc., which does business as Pitas in Paradise, for the period May 18, 2026 through May 18, 2027.
The item was presented as a public hearing titled “Renewal of Pitaboy Inc DBA Pitas in Paradise’s Liquor License … Due to Violation of Colorado Liquor and Beer Code.” Owner Drew Stichter was present at the meeting. Mayor Ian Billick opened the hearing, there were no public commenters, and the council closed public comment before taking action. Councilor Beth Goldstone moved to direct staff to renew the license; Councilor John O’Neal seconded. A roll-call vote was recorded as unanimous among voters.
The agenda language notes the renewal was listed because of a violation of the Colorado Liquor and Beer Code; the council’s action was to renew the local license for the year-long period indicated. The renewal directs town staff to complete any administrative steps required to reissue the license for that term.
The council did not record additional factual findings or impose new conditions on the license during the hearing, and no formal objections were made on the record. The town clerk’s office will carry out the administrative renewal and any follow-up required under state law.
The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for June 1, 2026, with a work session at 6 p.m. and the regular meeting at 7 p.m.
