Class C Quota License Update
City staff provided an update regarding the status of two Class C quota
liquor licenses that were recommended for approval as part of the 2022
process, noting that the licensees have not yet activated the licenses:
Jibarito A2, LLC at 309 S. Main Street
A2WINEMAN, LLC at 504-512 S. Main Street
City Staff stated the approvals with the Michigan Liquor Control
Commission had expired or were soon expiring and it does not appear
that either business is going to be able to use the license. Staff
recommended a Resolution from City Council rescinding approval of the
previous resolution that recommended issuance of the licenses.
