ANOTHER NEW SPRINGFIELD AVENUE LIQUOR STORE EYEING SPOT NEXT TO DEALS

A new liquor store may soon appear here

Just a week after the Wine Barrel opened its doors inside the former Santander Bank at Prospect Street and Springfield Avenue, another new liquor store is eyeing the property down the street next to Deals.

Nearby residents say they have received notice that a liquor license applicant is seeking to take over the space at 1715 Springfield Ave., which is now the home of a furniture store.

Kasper's Liquor is just across the street

The spot is across from Kasper's Liquors, next to 7-Eleven.

Mayor Vic Deluca confirmed it is a new applicant and that Kasper's is not moving. He said the request will be heard by the Township Committee on Jan. 19.
