The board granted a common victualler license to Stem Spot, a new venture on Merrimack Street. Asha Masha, the applicant, described the business as an indoor science museum café catering to parents and children. The board, after a brief discussion, unanimously approved the application, allowing the new establishment to move forward with its plans.

In another significant decision, the board approved Burlington Motors’ request to increase its car capacity. The business, formerly known as Cody and Sons, sought to expand its lot to accommodate more vehicles. The board members noted the business’s longstanding reputation for maintaining a clean and organized lot, which contributed to their decision to approve the increase to a total of 80 cars.

Additionally, the board addressed a procedural matter involving AA Nightclub. The nightclub was required to formally withdraw a previous application before moving forward with a new one. The board approved the withdrawal, allowing the nightclub to proceed with its new application process.

The board also considered the status of Beacon Hill Wine Spirits. The owner, Rebecca, appeared before the board to clarify that the sale of the business had fallen through, and she would retain the license. The board confirmed the retention of the license, and the owner expressed her appreciation for the community support during her time in Lawrence.
