When applying for a Retail Liquor Store License, you are required to publish a notice in the newspaper for no less than 15 days. What this means is that during this time, the people nearby, such as residents, churches, schools, playgrounds, and even other businesses, can protest your opening. If this occurs, your application gets denied. However, our team can help you fight for the ability to sell alcohol at the location of your choice by proving that your chosen location is suitable for licensure.
