Durand: conditional liquor license listed for 111-113 N. Saginaw
The state's weekly license list shows a Class C and a merchant license for MBMJ LLC at a downtown Durand address, both "Conditional," a status the state says lets a new owner operate during a transfer.
MBMJ LLC holds a conditional state liquor license for 111-113 N. Saginaw St. in downtown Durand.
The record appears on the Michigan Liquor Control Commission's master license list, the weekly spreadsheet published by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. It covers two licenses: a Class C Regular license, number L-000510743, and a Specially Designated Merchant license, number L-000510744. Both are listed with the status "Conditional." The license document MBMJ LLC provided to The Current took effect Oct. 14, 2026.
Under the commission's own classifications, a Class C license permits on-premises sale of beer, wine and spirits by the glass, and a Specially Designated Merchant license permits package sales of beer and wine to take off the premises. The commission says a conditional license "allows an applicant for the transfer of ownership of a retailer license" to "operate the business before final approval of the permanent license transfer." Conditional licenses expire after one year if the permanent license request has not been completed, and they cannot be renewed, the commission says.
The same weekly list shows a Class C and a Specially Designated Merchant license held by PFW2 Bar, Inc. at 113 N. Saginaw St. now listed with the status "Escrow."
MBMJ was also before the Durand City Council in July. Minutes of the July 20 regular meeting record the vote: "Doyle moved, Rochefort supported to approve the resolution for the Social District from MBMJ, MML Mike DeLorge as presented. YEAS: Doyle, Florindi, Folaron, Matejewski, Rochefort, Zick, Boggs NAYS: None Carried." The vote was 7-0.
Under Michigan's social district law, a city can designate a shared common area where customers of licensed establishments inside the district may carry drinks in marked cups. The minutes do not describe the boundaries of the district approved in July, and the resolution itself is not reproduced in them.
What happens next
The license document lists an expiration of Oct. 14, 2027. The commission's list is republished weekly at michigan.gov, and will show any change in status.
