Cleveland City Council Moves to Withdraw Objection to Lorain Avenue Liquor Permit
Cleveland City Council is moving to allow the transfer of a liquor permit for a business located at 12702 Lorain Avenue. Through Emergency Resolution 1178-2026, the Council intends to withdraw its previous opposition to the ownership transfer for the C1 and C2 liquor permits at this location.
## What's in the file
The resolution, introduced by Council Member Kazy, seeks to change the Council's stance regarding the transfer of liquor permit number 10014183-1 to Nem & Bang Food Mart, Inc., doing business as Nem & Bang Food Mart.
According to the 1178-2026-FOR ADOPTION document, the Council previously objected to this specific transfer through Resolution No. 479-2026, which was adopted on April 13, 2026. This new emergency measure would repeal that previous objection and officially signal the Council's consent to the permit transfer. Because it is designated as an emergency measure, the resolution would take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds affirmative vote from Council and approval by the Mayor.
## Who may be affected
The record specifically names Ward 13 and the business operating at 12702 Lorain Avenue.
## Status and timeline
The resolution was introduced on September 25, 2026, and is currently listed as "Agenda Ready." This action follows a period of increased activity in business-licensing matters, with 104 related items recorded in the last 90 days.
Residents can verify the details of this resolution and the previous objection by reviewing the official record at City of Cleveland Legistar.
