A smoke shop will soon occupy the retail space formerly home Danish Country & Modern at 138 Charles St., said Ali Ringenburg of the Beacon Hill Civic Association board of directors at its March 8 meeting.
The new store would sell glass waterpipes, among other smoking accessories, said Ringenburg, and its would-be owner already operates another smoke shop on Newbury Street.
Tom Clemens, co-chair of the Civic Association’s Zoning and Licensing Committee, said that the application for the new business would be “just a retail use, like the Blessing Barn [at 107 Charles St.], or any other business taking over from an existing retail use.
“If it gets to the point where they’re looking for a marijuana sales license, it would be a whole different issue,” Clemens said.
