UPDATE: This petition was a success!! The Girl and The Vine Received their liquor license!

Form The Owner: "We have been building The Girl and The Vine on a strict budget of our own capital and that of select investors. We are on track to open in a few weeks close to our original budget but our timeline has stretched longer than expected and our budget has been stretched with it. The funds from our Kickstarter campaign will be used to build our inventory and for cash flow that we will need in the first few months of operations in order to cover general operating expenses. Something will also inevitably come up as an unexpected expense and your contributions will help cover those "surprises."

To the Montgomery County Department of Liquor Control Board of License Commissioners:

Please accept this petition of strong support for the liquor license application of Kula Hospitality DBA The Girl and The Vine at 7071 Carroll Ave in Takoma Park, MD.

Based on our understanding of its business model, it is our belief that this resident-owned, small business will contribute positively to our commercial district. The prior business owner had a liquor licenses in that building and we have other establishments that serve alcohol nearby on Carroll Avenue that successfully operate in the community.

I look forward to the opening of this new business in Takoma Park.

Thank you,
