MILTON — The Fruit Center has requested an expanded liquor license.
The Granite Street store currently has a license to sell beer and wine but has applied for an all-alcoholic beverage license.
Michael Modestino, a lawyer representing the store, said the purpose of the request is not to sell liquor by the bottle, but to offer premixed, prepackaged cocktails.
"Customers want to purchase ready-to-serve beverages," Modestino told the select board during a public hearing Wednesday night, April 28. "They are trying to satisfy the needs of the customers."
He said the store has no intention of increasing the display space for alcoholic beverages, currently limited by the town to 200 square feet.
