BALZANOfS LIQUORS CHANGE OF OWNERSHI�,
*n Thursday, January 9, 2020, Village Manager and Executive Assistant met with Ms. Nayna Goswami along with her
husband Jay regarding her request to assume ownership of Balzano Liquors located at the above -noted address. The
'%-'.lass "P-1" license provides for the retail sales of alcoholic liquors on a package basis. In 2005, the Village limited the
number of Class "P-1"" license to the five currently in force.
Ms. Goswami has never held a liquor license in her name, however; has experience in the sale of packaged alcohol
and has recently worked at Mario Wine & Spirits in Chicago. She has also successfully helped her husband run a
Subway shop in Chicago, owned since 2016. Upon questioning, she indicated that ownership was an American
Dream" and management of the store would be her full-time endeavor along with a hired manager.
The business name will be changed to Jenny"s Liquors. Ms. Goswami feels new marketing strategies along with new
inventory and increased customer service will improve the dynamics and success of this location. Hours of operation
will remain the same, open seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to midnight.
As a condition in obtaining a license,, Ms. Goswami attended a classroom Bassett training where the sale of liquor to
minors as well as sales to clearly intoxicated persons were discussed along with false driver license identification. She
also indicated that she had read the Liquor Code and understood the requirements of same.

submitted to background check and fingerprinting. If the Village Board considers this application favorably, ar
Ordinance creating a new class P-1license would need to be adopted with the current Balzano's ""P-1"" license
deleted upon completion of the sale which is expected February 1, 2020.
