The Lyndora Hotel, a popular tavern located on Main Street in Lyndora, has transferred its liquor license to a Sheetz location in Harrisville, according to a sign on the door of the Sheetz.

The convenience store chain is expanding into selling alcoholic beverages at its stores. Last year, a Sheetz location in Adams Township received clearance to sell beer and wine upon its opening.

A walk-in “beer cave” has already been installed within the Harrisville store, along with a sign saying “Beer run coming soon.”

The Lyndora Hotel’s current liquor license expires on Friday, June 30, and was last reissued on June 15, 2022. Co-owners Mike Pawk and his sister Laura Santoro, have attempted to sell the Lyndora Hotel property for nearly a year, with news of the attempted sale breaking in July 2022.

It is unclear what will become of the building that houses the Lyndora Hotel or whether the business will continue without selling alcohol.

According to county record, the Lyndora Hotel was constructed in 1908, and its first purpose was to house those traveling to the new Standard Steel Company. The property has been in the hands of the Pawk family since 1947.

Contrary to its name, the Lyndora Hotel presently operates as a bar and restaurant only, and has not housed guests in the building since the 1990s after a fire broke out on the top floor.

Pawk and Santoro didn’t returned requests for comment as of Friday evening.
