Casa Blanca Supermercado, Inc., d/b/a Casa Blanca Supermercado Restaurant, located at 770 Claim Street, has submitted a liquor license application for a Class F license for the purpose of selling to the general public beer and wine by the drink for consumption on the premises only.

Attached is the application submitted for your consideration. If approved, this resolution would increase the number of allowable liquor licenses as indicated in the accompanying Exhibit A to allow for the issuance of the licenses by the Commissioner.
