Officials with Napoli’s restaurant in Belpre are hoping to be able to begin alcohol sales by the end of the year following voter approval Tuesday night.
BELPRE — Belpre businesses that got approval from voters this week to sell beer and wine at their establishments are expecting to be able to begin sales toward the end of the year or after the start of the new year. On Tuesday, voters approved sales for beer and wine at locations in Belpre, but officials do not expect sales to begin until late December or early January as the process will take some time to get the permits approved and in place. The alcohol issues voters approved this week include sales of beer for the Speedway at the intersection of Farson Street and U.S. 50 and the Speedway on Washington Boulevard as well as the Napoli’s Restaurant on Main Street. Wayne Waldeck, CEO of Wal-Bon of Ohio Inc., which operates Napoli’s, said his family is grateful to the voters for showing the faith in them to run a disciplined business in regard to alcohol sales.
