The Glynn County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 2 approved two alcoholic beverage licenses for restaurants on St. Simons Island.

For item 4, the board approved issuance of a 2025 license for Rippers, located at 203 Edwards Plaza, to sell malt beverages and wine for on‑premises consumption; Sunday sales are permitted. County licensing staff member Hannah Farrell, licensing chief, said, "Based on the background investigation, there was nothing that was revealed that would preclude you from approving it." No public speakers registered in opposition.

Later, the board approved a beverage license for Zuzu's Bistro, DBA Zuzu's, at 119 Mallory Street. The record shows the commission moved to approve the license after a public hearing with no speakers opposing the application. Staff again reported no disqualifying findings from background checks.

Outcome: Both licenses were approved on motions from the dais and a voice vote. No conditions or suspensions were recorded in the public hearing transcript.

Discussion: Staff described routine background investigations for license applicants; the meeting transcript contains no recorded opposition or conditional approvals for these items.
