A salon that Mayberry’s Floyd would surely not recognize is apparently the first applicant for a new Pineville alcohol permit.

Mancave Cenla published notice Wednesday that it has applied to the state office of Alcohol & Tobacco Control to sell low- and high-alcohol beverages.

The men’s barber shop is located at 2965 U.S. 165, at its intersection with Cottingham Expressway.

The city’s new “E” class permit allows alcohol sales or service at non-traditional businesses such as barber shops, salons, jewelry stores and others that want to so entertain customers, either complimentary or by sale.

Such options are in place in many jurisdictions and, Mayor Rich Dupree told the City Council in November, had been requested by some Pineville enterprises.

Mancave Cenla is owned by Cobborama Investments LLC, which filed charter documents with the Secretary of State Office in February.

The LLC’s registered agent is Alisha Cobb; member/manager is Christopher Cobb.

The city has three other alcohol permit classes — A, B and R. Permitted sales became legal in February 2019.
