The Glynn County Board of Commissioners on May 2025 approved multiple 2025 alcoholic beverage licenses for hotels, restaurants and a convenience-store applicant and deferred one application by motion.

The commission approved the following licenses after public hearing and a background-review statement from enforcement staff that no disqualifying issues were found: a retail package malt-and-wine license for Comfort Suites (25 Ashton Drive; licensee Balish Patel); a restaurant on-premises license for Breezy’s Bistro (135 Shoppers Way; licensee Lawrence Gibson) to serve malt, wine and liquor; a retail package malt-and-wine license for Tru by Hilton (310 Frontage Road; licensee Harish Patel); and a provisional retail package malt-and-wine license for Buc-ee’s Brunswick LLC (6900 Highway 99; licensee Peggy Sue Cochran). A separate application for an alcoholic beverage license for Majay Ombe 1 LLC (dba OM Smoke Shop at 275 Palisade Drive, item 46) was moved by a commissioner to be deferred and was taken off the consent/ public-hearing schedule for later consideration.

During each license hearing staff indicated that background checks did not reveal issues that would preclude approval. The public hearing record included pro-business statements from citizens, including repeated comments from resident Patricia Ann Barnador in favor of granting licenses to local businesses. Following public comment, commissioners made and seconded motions to approve each license and recorded the motions as approved by voice vote.

The approvals allow the named businesses to proceed with state licensing steps and local license issuance consistent with the license types granted (on-premises restaurant service vs. retail package sales at hotel/convenience store). The deferment of item 46 removes that application from decision at this meeting pending further action.
