“Right now, we’re a retail store,” Beltz said. “It’s been a retail space for the last 50 years. But I’d like it to be more of a coffeehouse. I’ve been giving coffee away, but a variance would allow us to brew and sell it. We could also grind coffee beans and sell freshly ground coffee.”
In addition, Beltz would like permission to sell packaged wine and beer.
