West Covina, CA – The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) recently issued a temporary license to the Pacific Stay Hotel, located at 3223 E Garvey Ave N in West Covina. The license, issued on April 7, 2026, marks a significant development for the business district of the city.
The license, categorized as a “Temporarily Unclassified” business type – meaning the classification will be determined later – grants the establishment the authority to serve alcohol. The application was submitted by David Stapleton, identified as the primary owner.
The business operates within the 4036.01 Census Tract, situated in the heart of West Covina’s business area. The issuance of this license highlights the ongoing efforts of the ABC to regulate and oversee establishments that serve alcoholic beverages within the state.
The license is subject to a 12-month term and requires a further review and classification by the ABC. The department anticipates a process of approximately six weeks for updates to the expiration date following the submission of a renewal fee.
The business district of West Covina is characterized by a mix of established retail stores, professional offices, and increasingly, hospitality businesses. The Pacific Stay Hotel’s addition to the area reflects the city’s continued growth and diversification.
