It’s hard to be competitive in the cutthroat grocery
business these days without the ability to sell beer and wine. So, to keep up with the competition, Fresh
Thyme Farmers Market, which has stores in 11 mostly midwestern states, opened
its doors in the old HH Gregg space at Cranberry Commons Mall this past
June. At its August 30 meeting,
Cranberry’s Board of Supervisors accepted testimony on the store’s request to
approve an inter-municipal liquor license transfer. The store recently purchased its license from
elsewhere in the County. State law only permits inter-county
transfer of licenses.. Final
consideration of the store’s request for approval is scheduled for the Board’s
September 6 meeting.
