BACKGROUND:
Solo Liquors is a package store located at 1474 East Chicago Avenue.
Class D - Package Store licenses are generally located in large shopping centers unless they are grandfathered in as having been established prior to regulations that contain square footage limitations.
Solo Liquors has a Class D - Package Store license that requires that it be in a shopping center containing at least 60,000 square feet. Because it was grandfathered in, Solo Liquors is currently in a shopping center of less than 60,000 square feet.
The City was contacted by Aadi Patel, owner of Shree Balchandra 2 LLC, d/b/a AJ’s Liquorland, 2150, A3 West Galena Blvd Aurora, IL 60506 who is seeking to acquire and purchase Solo Liquors.
A $400 variance fee for processing the variance has been submitted along with a written request for the variance.
