Twenty expired restaurant licenses are being auctioned by the state, including one in Washington County and one in Greene County. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) is accepting bids through October 5 at noon. Licenses available in this auction cannot be transferred across county lines. They may only be transferred to another municipality within the same county.
The minimum bid for each license is $25,000, and each bid must be accompanied by a bid surety of $5,000 or 5% of the total bid amount, whichever is higher, to avoid frivolous or underfunded bids. The highest bidder will have up to 30 days to pay the PLCB and up to six months to submit an application for the license.
Potential bidders with questions can send an email message to [email protected]. Other counties where licenses are available are Adams, Berks, Bucks, Cambria, Carbon, Crawford, Delaware, Jefferson, Lancaster, Lehigh, Luzerne, Lycoming, Monroe, Montgomery, Northampton, Schuylkill, Snyder, and Wayne.
