SAFFORD — Without any discussion, the Safford City Council Monday recommended approval of a new liquor license for the Downtown area.
Ginaveve’s Marketplace has applied with the state for a Series 12 license.
A Series 12 license allows for the consumption of liquor on premises only, and the business must receive at least 40 percent of its gross revenue from food sales. Failure to meet the 40-percent threshold will result in license revocation.
Despite being across Main Street from the Potter’s House Christian Church, the 2019 adoption by the city of an Entertainment District overlay of the Downtown area allows for Ginaveve’s to apply for and hold a liquor license within 300 feet of the church.
The City Council’s favorable recommendation is now forwarded to the state Liquor Board for final action.
