Your local Walgreens will soon stock beer and wine coolers after receiving village approval via a liquor license. The Village Board approved the Class A beer only license for the retail store at 4081 N. Oakland Ave. Tuesday night. The store plans to offer beer in its cold cases and on shelves.

Got to find some way to compete w/ the new Metro Market that will replace the current Pick N Save across the street. The Mequon Metro has an array of liquor offerings and I'm sure the one in Shorewood will as well which will be much more than what the current Pick N Save offers.   more ›

Village Officials Approve $10,000 Liquor License Work-around

With Shorewood currently out of regular Class B liquor licenses and forced to charge $10,000 for reserve permits, village officials seek to avoid discouraging prospective Shorewood business owners with excessive fees.

Shorewood officials have given the final OK to a work-around aimed at offsetting the hefty $10,000 cost of a reserve Class B liquor license. The new grant program approved unanimously by village trustees Monday comes on the heels of NaNa Asian Fusion paying $10,000 for a Class B liquor license, allowing the sushi and Asian cuisine restaurant to open with a full liquor bar. Last spring when Salvatore’s Pizza opened its doors in Shorewood, it was issued the village's 14th and last $600 Class B license. State law allots municipalities a set number of Class B licenses.

Given the quandary Shorewood officials and a new business owner navigated in October, the village gave initial approval Friday to a new grant program aimed at offsetting the hefty $10,000 cost of a reserve Class B liquor license. When Salvatore’s Pizza opened its doors in Shorewood last spring, it was issued the village's 14th and last $600 Class B license. State law allots municipalities a set number of Class B licenses and some reserve Class B liquor licenses based on its population, which are required to be sold for no less than $10,000. Class B licenses allow establishments to serve hard liquor, beer and wine.

If the license is held current? I take that as you meaning when one operator goes out then another one is ready to jump in and take over the operations w/out interruption..Does this include if the business coming into the space changes it's name as well; ie Tina's Tacos and now Bob's Burgers? If that is the train of thought then my question is how many restaurants go out of business and the space…   more ›
