Circle K Liquor License 🎉 Update 🎉

The Mayor and Council meeting on Tuesday, June 6 included a review of the liquor license request for Circle K at 3351 East Speedway. Circle K opted to withdraw their license request for the time being. Circle K expressed their interest in partnering with the neighborhood and they accepted the recommendation to meet with PVNA before re-applying.


Thanks to all the neighbors who registered their opposition with the Council and the Liquor Board, and to Steve Kozachik who advocated on PVNA's behalf. This license request may be resubmitted in the future - we will keep you informed.


If you have questions or comments for Circle K regional leadership, please email those to us so we can add them to our notes for them. Send comments to info@paloverdeneighborhood.org
