North Adams Package Store Changing Hands Again

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. —The License Commission on Tuesday approved the transfer of a beer/wine package store license for Dave's Package Store. 
 
The license will be held by North Adams Package LLC, which will continue doing business as Dave's. 
 
 Avatar Grang of North Adams, the new manager, told the commissioners that the hours and drive-up window will remain the same and that he and one other would be working in the store. 
 
 Grang said he did not have experience with running an alcohol store "over here" but was cognizant of the state's liquor laws. He said he was looking to expand his interests. 
 
"I have a business in location in New York, OK, and I'm friends with Abbas for a long time," he said, referring to Abbas Choudhry, who purchased the business and property more than a year ago as Shahmir Properties LLC.
 
Choudhry, who attended the meeting, said he would stay on until Grang was approved for the license at the state level. 
 
Commissioner Rosemari Dickinson pointed out several errors and typos on the application that she recommended be corrected, including adding in the continued use of the drive-through, before being submitted to the state. She said state inspectors would return the papers or call about anything out of place.
