Leigh Turner, owner of the Black Frog Restaurant, said he decided to cancel the free Skinny Dip sandwich promotion Thursday after the Board of Selectmen denied his application to renew his liquor license, the Bangor (Maine) Daily News reported Monday.
Turner said members of the board told him they'd be willing to grant his renewal request if he canceled the promotion because it encouraged nudity from patrons.
However, Town Manager John Simko said he contacted the selectmen after Turner called town officials to say the promotion had been discontinued, and the consensus among the officials was to let the ruling stand.
Turner, whose liquor license expires Nov. 9, has the right to appeal the ruling and request a public hearing, the newspaper said.
