Chilliwack health and beauty collective applies for liquor license for special events

CHILLIWACK — A Vedder Road health and beauty collective in Chilliwack whose primary focus is hair and aesthetic services for its clients has applied for a liquor license application through the provincial government.

According to a staff report dated August 20 from Jamie Leggatt, director of legislative services for the City of Chilliwack, a liquor primary license application has been received from Chilliwack Refinery House Hair Studio Incorporated, located at 5622 Vedder Road. Since the main focal point of the business revolves around hair and aesthetic services, Leggatt wrote that liquor sales are ancillary to the business.

The studio wrote in its letter attached to the liquor license application that liquor service is not the primary focus of its enterprise, nor will the goals and objectives of its business shift to alcohol at any point during its operating hours. As part of its application, the versatile studio would like to serve food that you typically see on a charcuterie board, consisting of of packaged goods like pretzels, crackers, cheese and meat, pre-packaged lunch kits, dips, and at least three hot food offerings to be prepared in a microwave or toaster oven. Coffee, tea and a variety of alcohol-free beverages will also be available.

The proposed capacity is 50 people. The business’s operating hours are Monday to Thursday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.. The business has applied for service hours up to 10 p.m. in order to accommodate times they may stay open for later hours than usual, Leggatt wrote in her staff report.
