EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Transfer of Retail Packaee Store License, Chanize of Manager and Change of Location -
Kaial and Kevin LLC dba "Liquor Junction"
October 2, 2013
Chief James Cormier
Reading Police Department
15 Union Street
Reading, MA 01867
Chief Cormier,
As directed by your Office and in accordance with Reading Police Department Policy and
Procedures, I have placed together an executive summary of the application for a Transfer of
Retail Package Store License and Change of Manager Application for the Liquor License
#101600034.
The current location of this license is 1 General Way (dba "Wine Bunker "). The proposed
location will also be 1 General Way (dba "Liquor Junction ") with the application stating that,
"Landlord is providing a new space when purchase of business has been completed in the same
plaza."
Liquor License History:
• Jasmin Patel currently has direct or indirect, beneficial or financial interest in a license to sell
alcoholic beverages at another location. This location is "Kajal LLC dba Quickstop ", 123
Nashua Road #25, Londonderry, NH.
a. I contacted Londonderry PD (Det. Sgt. Ken Bernard) about this location. "Quickstop"
was not cited but sold to an underage minor in 2004. "Quickstop" was cited in 2012
for selling to underage minors. The clerk pled guilty and received a fine.
• Komal Patel currently has a direct or indirect, beneficial or financial interest in a license to
sell alcoholic beverages at another location. This location is "Kevin and Viren LLC dba
Salem Convenience ", 401 Main Street #8, Salem, NH.
a. I contacted Salem PD (Lt. Morin) about this location. Lt. Morin reported that a clerk
from "Salem Convenience" was cited in 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 for selling
to underage minors. Each time the individual clerk pled guilty and received a fine.
5&2,-
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Transfer of Retail Package Store License, Change of Manager and Change of Location=
Kaial and Kevin LLC dba "Liquor Junction"
Although the past violations may not be disqualifiers, I have concerns over their recent history of
selling alcohol to underage minors. The Board of Selectmen should be apprised of this as they
make their decision on issuing this license.
Respectfully Submitted,
Sgt. Detective Mark D. Segalla
Criminal Division Commander
