Joe's Liquors Change of Manager
At a glance
- What: a change of manager for VJRP LLC, doing business as Joe's Liquors at 168 Broadway, listed "pending package store license transfer."
- Where it stands: approved 3-0 on Oct 20. The commission had approved the sale of the store in August 2025, but the City Clerk's system shows the transfer was never completed, reportedly because the ABCC sent it back over a residency/eligibility requirement for the original manager.
- Next: the owners' attorney is to follow up on completing the transfer.
Key points
- Attorney Alan Levin represented the licensee and said the original manager could not continue, so a new manager with prior assistant-manager experience and alcohol-server training was proposed.
- Commissioner Allen had not seen a "pending transfer" item on an agenda before and asked for the status. The item was laid on the table while the City Clerk checked records, then taken up again near the end of the meeting.
- The clerk confirmed the commission's transfer approval date was August 22, 2025, and that the system shows no completed transfer.
