Two more approved for liquor

Two more liquor licenses have been approved for Faulkner County restaurants.

La Huerta Mexican restaurant, 1052 Harrison Suite 8 in Conway, was approved for a private club permit this week, according to Kathy Gibson, document examiner for the Arkansas Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. She said the ABC received 888 signatures in support of the permit and no objections.

Julio Nunez, a partner in the business, said, "I'm excited. The people are more excited than me."

He said he believes he will receive the actual permit on Nov. 25 or 26, and he thinks he will be ready to start serving by that time. He plans to serve margaritas and beer. Gusano's Chicago-Style Pizzeria also received approval conditional upon health department approval for the restaurant to open.

Tim Chappell of Little Rock said recently the chain would open a location in Conway if it received its liquor license. The business has staked out 6,000 square feet at 2915 Dave Ward Drive Suites 6 and 7. The restaurant will serve Chicago-style pizza and beer, Chappell said in an earlier interview.

Chappell did not immediately return a phone call for comment on Thursday.

Gibson said there were neither objections nor support for the Gusano's permit.
