Applicant’s Statement

The applicant submitted the following statement in support of this application. Spelling, grammar and punctuation in the statement are shown exactly as written by the applicant on the City Questionnaire.

 

I have the capability, reliability and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:

“Currently, Sardella's Pizza and Wings at 18631 N. 19th Ave. in Phoenix, AZ holds a series 12 liquor license and sells alcohol. An AOC was required due to the passing of Gayle Sardella on December 13, 2016. Removing Gayle Sardella and adding Sardella Family Trust, dated December 6, 1995 are the only changes. No change to location, hours of operation, day-to-day procedures and operations and beer and wine menu.”
