A liquor license was OK’d by Flowery Branch City Council Thursday night for the owner of a newly annexed strip shopping center. Mohammed Arif was seeking the license for the center, anchored by Express Food Mart, at 6168 Gaines Ferry Road. The decades-old center, which also features a pizza shop and hair salon and has two vacant shops, is across from Hall County Fire Station 8 and is just east of McEver Road.
