The applicant has also petitioned for a change of stock interest for a change of officers and directors and finally is
petitioned to change the manager of the licensed business from Disha Patel to Sanjay Kumar Patel who's present on behalf of the applicant. >> Thank you Secretary Green. Good morning Chair Joyce commissioners Kevin Butler from McDermac Quilty Miller and Hanley on behalf of the lency Verpa Corp. I'm
joined this morning by members of the ownership team Jagish Jack Patel and Sanjay Kumar Sammy Patel who is also proposed manager of record. The lences operate without incident for approximately 3 years and now at the request of their customers in the neighborhood. They are looking to expand
their offerings to the community by upgrading their license. There are a few nearby all alcoholic beverages licenses but what sets this location apart is that it's on the east side of Maverick Station and as such it primarily serves a different clientele. those that stick to their side of the station instead of
fighting the traffic and buses. Additionally, the store is not solely dedicated to alcohol sales. Approximately half the space is devoted to groceries, and this upgrade would allow customers to enjoy a more convenient one-stop shopping experience. The applicant does not plan to displace any grocery items with alcohol.
And finally, public need for this uh upgrade is further evidenced by our community process and support from the Maverick Central Neighborhood Association. The lency also seeks to change stock interests by adding Dia Ral and Jack Patel in removing Disha Patel. Sammy
remains the majority interest holder and the change of director is just intended to reflect the change of stock interests. Sammy has about three years of experience in the package store industry without incident and over a decade of experience in selling age restricted materials. He is a US citizen, a resident of Malden, is
experienced in the industry, and is familiar with the laws of the Commonwealth, the rules of the ABCC, and this board for the sale and service of alcohol. Thank you, and we are happy to answer any questions. >> Thank you very much, Mr. Attorney Butler. You did a nice job. Um, I
actually have no questions at this time, commissioners. >> Uh, no questions at this time. Thank you. >> None. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. Are there any individuals who would like to testify on this matter beginning with elected officials or their representatives? >> Yes, madame chair, members of the board.

Carolyn Conway on behalf of the U Lency. I have with me this morning, Mr. Arlene or Miss Arlene Seiya, who is already the manager of record of Pier Rosa Group. The board may recall that several years ago, almost two years ago now, there was
a b a stock buyout of uh one stockholder over the other of Pier Rosa Group. And in an effort to just to make sure that there was a clean break between the former corporation, um rather than change the name of the corporation in
consultation with the accountants, it was decided to just transfer the license to a brand new LLC. Uh the operations are remaining the same, the time is remaining the same, capacity, everything. And Missa is going to
continue as manager of records. So the real reason for the transfer is more a business reason than anything else. No change in operation at all. We're happy to answer any questions that you may have with respect to this.
Uh thank you for the explanation attorney. Thank you for joining us. Miss SIA hope I pronounced that correctly. Zia, >> you already are you are already a manager of record. Is that correct? >> Correct. So, will you be on location here? >> Yes.
