The operator of the Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in Midland is closer to being able to sell alcohol.

The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a specific use permit request from SB Hospitality Corp., which operates the Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant on Loop 250 north of Target and Home Depot. SB Hospitality plans to begin selling alcohol beverages for consumption in the restaurant.

The Midland City Council must still approve the item.

Commissioners also approved a specific use permit for Strategic Restaurant Concepts for alcohol beverage sales for consumption in a restaurant.

Strategic Restaurant Concepts is beginning construction of Bubba’s 33 restaurant at Midland Park Mall facing the Loop 250 frontage road. SRC will own the liquor permit while the business permit will be owned by Texas Roadhouse, which has a restaurant between Chick-fil-A and Wal-Mart at Loop 250 and Midland Drive. The restaurant is set to open by the end of the year and employ 180.
