  • 'We're all small towns with small populations... we are locked out of the liquor licenses'

The video from PBS, titled "NJ restaurant owners push for liquor license reforms," discusses the ongoing efforts by New Jersey restaurant owners to reform the state's liquor license laws. Currently, the high cost of liquor licenses, which can reach up to $400,000, poses a significant barrier for new and existing restaurant owners. The video highlights how these costs limit the number of establishments that can serve alcohol, impacting the industry's growth and diversity. Restaurant owners are advocating for changes that would increase the number of available licenses and reduce their cost, thereby fostering a more competitive and vibrant dining scene in New Jersey. The push for reform is driven by the belief that more accessible liquor licenses would benefit both the economy and the community by supporting small businesses and enhancing consumer choice.
