The Caroline County Board of License Commissioners convened on May 28, 2025, to address several key agenda items concerning local businesses and their liquor licensing. The meeting began with discussions surrounding the Market Street Pub's request for a temporary extension of its premises for outdoor events. The board unanimously approved the extension for events scheduled on June 17, July 14, August 14, and September 2025, allowing the pub to enhance its outdoor seating arrangements during these occasions.

Following this, the board reviewed action items, including a written decision regarding Bullock's Deli from the previous meeting. The board confirmed the decision without any concerns. Additionally, Red Light Liquors sought approval to continue its liquor delivery service under the same conditions as the previous year. The board approved this request, allowing deliveries between 9 AM and 11 PM while maintaining a delivery log.

The meeting then shifted focus to a new application from Brunix Bait and Tackle, LLC, for a Class A beer, wine, and liquor license for off-premise sales. The applicant, Ira Nichols, presented his case, emphasizing the need for a local shop catering to both residents and visitors, particularly those from nearby areas. The board reviewed the application, noting that all required documentation was in order, although some outstanding items needed to be addressed before final approval.

The board members expressed support for the new business, recognizing the potential benefits it could bring to the community, especially given the area's growing interest in fishing and related activities. The meeting concluded with a commitment to follow up on the necessary approvals and to ensure that all conditions for the new license were met.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the board's ongoing efforts to support local businesses while ensuring compliance with licensing regulations, reflecting a proactive approach to community development in Caroline County.
