# City of Franklin, Beer Board, 10-13-2026

The City of Franklin Beer Board met on October 13, 2026. The board approved the September 8 minutes and approved beer-permit applications for Eastern Peak Franklin LLC (existing restaurant under new ownership), SF Hawkers Stores LLC (new restaurant), and Jevo S&S Technologies Inc. (an existing brewery changing its legal structure from an LLC to a corporation). Mr. J’s Original LLC was approved contingent on receiving its certificate of occupancy, as was W-C Management Group LLC for Wild Ginger, which has new ownership. These actions concerned business permits rather than purchasing or contract awards; no procurement activity or spending decisions were identified.

The board deferred W-C Bar LLC’s application for The Rafters until the November 10 meeting, without requiring a new application or fee. Members cited the location’s recent history and requested more time for the new owner to vet staff and demonstrate management, training, and security practices. Applicants described alcohol-service training and ID checks, including Eastern Peak’s use of the WeScan ID-scanning feature integrated into its POS system; no technology purchase was discussed. All recorded permit votes were unanimous.
