Two new restaurants seek liquor licenses

A pair of public hearings are on the agenda of the Hutchinson City Council’s meeting Wednesday night, Sept. 10. Both will deal with liquor licenses sought by owners of two restaurants planning to open here soon.

Jeffrey Ehlert of Fairmont is seeking a license for Jake’s Pizza, which will open in the Hutchinson Mall in space once occupied by Godfather’s Pizza and most recently by Luce Line Railroad Club Inc.

Jesse Doherty of Hutchinson is seeking a license for The Italian char House, which plans to open in the basement space at the 101 Park Place Building, 101 Main St. S. The space was most recently the Mariachi Mexican Restaurant.

A third restaurant that received its liquor license earlier this summer, Zella’s, could open later this month at 12 Main St. S.
