This request is for a new liquor license for a restaurant. This location was previously licensed for liquor sales and may currently operate with an interim permit.

 

The 60-day limit for processing this application was January 2, 2026. However, the applicant submitted a request for more time.

 

Pursuant to A.R.S. 4-203, a spirituous liquor license shall be issued only after satisfactory showing of the capability, qualifications, and reliability of the applicant and that the public convenience and the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance. If an application is filed for the issuance of a license for a location, that on the date the application is filed has a valid license of the same series issued at that location, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the public convenience and best interest of the community at that location was established at the time the location was previously licensed. The presumption shall not apply once the licensed location has not been in use for more than 180 days.

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:

“1) I as the agent to the liquor license currently represent over 230+ licensees statewide. 2) Owner has a clean background and has 10+ years in the restaurant industry. 3) Owner will be a day-to-day operator with approved Title IV Basic & Management training."

 

The public convenience requires and the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because:

“We are a breakfast and lunch restaurant, and we want to be able to offer alcoholic beverages to our legal drinking age customers to be able to enhance their dining experience. The alcohol is merely an accessory to our primary purpose and is needed to be competitive in the marketplace.”
