Local cafe seeks to sell prepackaged drinks at waterfront; board to review case-by-case
Summary
Karen's Cafe proposed a staffed cooler service at the waterfront selling prepackaged iced drinks and snacks on peak days; the board said applications for beach vending will be handled on a case-by-case basis and emphasized rules and proper identification for vendors.
Karen, owner of Karen's Cafe, told the board she wants to "introduce a small beach beverage and refreshment service at the Waterfront Park during peak summer days" using a dedicated employee and prepackaged items stored in a cooler; she said the business is fully insured and not proposing a food truck or open cooking on the beach.
Trustees asked about frequency, setup and branding; Karen said she would likely operate a few days a week with advanced notice and that employees would be identifiable. The Chair said applications for vending at the beach will be considered individually and the village will avoid inundating beachgoers with multiple vendors.
