The current owner is retiring and the purchase of the business is contingent upon approval of the liquor license.The Class “F2” license provides for the sale of beer and wine at dining tables. Neither owner has experience in the restaurant industry, however; this joint venture to own and operate a community business is their “American Dream”. Mr. Ashish Modi was a manager of a liquor establishment in Woodridge and is familiar with the state rules and regulations of alcohol sales.Both gentlemen have completed a certified classroom liquor servers training course as required by Village code. Mr. Ashish Modi will manage the daily operations of the restaurant.The business will continue to operate under the name Photo’s. With regard to the operation of the establishment, the applicants plan no substantive changes other than upgrading of the menu and outdoor décor. Lunch and dinner will continue to be served with hours of operation remaining the same. Mr. Modi is hopeful to keep Photo’scurrent loyal customers and not have any interruption of service or blemish thecommunity reputation thatPhoto’s has built over the years. The requirements of the Village’s liquor code were reviewed with Messrs.Modi. Particular attention was paid to the prohibitions against sales to minors and over service to clearly intoxicated persons. Staff discussed at length the Village’s FightOrdinance requirements. Both gentlemen indicated they had read the Village’s rules and regulations in this regard and understood. Messrs.Modi werealso reminded that the sale of alcohol was ancillary to the primary purpose of the business which is the sale of food. A completed application along with payment of appropriate fees and most documentation is on file. The applicants have submitted to a background check and fingerprinting. If the Village Board considers this request favorably, a motion to approve the change in ownership would be in order. The License would be issued once all documentation has been submitted and an ordinance creating a new class “F-2” license would need to be adopted with the current “F-2” license being deleted upon completion of the sale.
