Royal Farms in Hatfield gets the OK to sell liquor

By

Royal Farms is continuing its expansion into the Philadelphia region with the development of a new convenience store in Collegeville.

A liquor license transfer has been approved for the Royal Farms fuel station and restaurant in Hatfield.

“We held the hearing at our last meeting, and there were a number of preconditions that we added to this liquor license,” said board of commissioners President Tom Zipfel, writes Dan Sokil in The Reporter.

“The residents who were here, there were no objections, and since then I’ve heard no objections, and it seems like a reasonable request to move forward on,” he said.

The owners of the Royal Farms between Bethlehem Pike and County Line Road last month began making the case for the township to approve the liquor license transfer, which would allow the sale of beer and wine at the convenience store. Other Royals Farms stations and stores in Maryland and Virginia already offer takeout beer and wine sales, and the Hatfield store would be among the first in Pennsylvania to do so, according to the owners.

The liquor license would come from the former Bravo Cucina restaurant at Willow Grove Park Mall, 2500 Moreland Road in Willow Grove, and township approval was necessary before the applicants could take their case to the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. Company policy is to request ID from anyone who appears to be under the age of 40 and tries to buy alcohol, according to the owners, and alcohol sales only make up roughly three percent of total revenue at the stores in Maryland and Virginia.
