Dano’s Tequila has apparently opened an office in Rehoboth
With no notice and nothing but a sign announcing its arrival, infused tequila maker Dano’s Tequila appears to have set up a corporate office in Rehoboth Beach.
Representatives from the Colorado-based business could not be reached, but a vertical banner covering half of the Route 1 sign for Rehoboth Beach Plaza appeared weeks ago. Within the shopping center, the windows of the space closest to the highway that used to be a bank have Dano’s stickers covering their surface.
According to Lynne Coan, city spokesperson, Dano’s does not have a business license with the city, and a stop-work order has been issued until they reach out to the building and licensing department.
The company was co-founded in 2018 by Danny Thompson and Chris Timmerman. It’s located in Steamboat, Colo. According to Dano's website, the infused tequila is distilled in Mexico at a family-owned operation that has been in business since 1840.
