Council Moves to Support New Liquor Permit for Amal Food Mart and Deli
Cleveland City Council is moving to allow a new liquor permit for a business in Ward 11. Under Emergency Resolution 1022-2026, the Council intends to withdraw its previous opposition to a C1 liquor permit requested by Amal Food Mart and Deli, Inc., located at 6909 Clark Avenue.
What's in the file
The resolution, introduced by Council Member Hudson, seeks to change the city's stance regarding Permit No. 10013819-1. According to the official document, the resolution authorizes the following:
- The withdrawal of the Council's objection to the New C1 Liquor Permit for Amal Food Mart and Deli, Inc.
- The repeal of Resolution No. 581-2026, which was originally adopted on May 11, 2026, to object to the permit.
- Council's formal consent to the immediate issuance of the permit.
The record includes a "WHEREAS" clause stating that the Council previously objected to the permit but now wishes to withdraw that objection and consent to the permit's issuance. Because this is filed as an emergency measure, the resolution is designed to take effect immediately if it receives an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all elected Council members and receives approval from the Mayor.
