SAVANNAH, GA (August 11, 2020) – An increasing number of Savannah businesses are complying with Georgia laws and the City of Savannah ordinances concerning alcohol sales as the ABC Unit continues to remain vigilant in underage drinking operations.
ABC Unit investigators gathered a list of 17 businesses to visit for their most recent operation on July 31, in which 14 of the establishments passed.
“As summer comes to an end, we believed it was necessary to conduct an underage drinking operation to make sure our businesses have not faltered in their efforts to sell alcohol safely,” said ABC Unit Supervisor Sgt. Samantha Stephens. “I am proud that so many businesses have passed, which means our efforts are producing positive results and that businesses are continuing to train their employees.”
The managers or licensees of the establishments were notified of the type of alcohol sold, that the buyer was underage, if they checked the buyer’s identification, and what actions would be taken by law enforcement. The ABC Unit will share the results of the operation with the Georgia Department of Revenue Alcohol and Tobacco Division.
According to the City of Savannah’s Alcohol Beverage Ordinance, a first offense results in a minimum fine of $500; second offense, if within 12 months of the first, results in a $750 fine; third offense, if within 18 months of the first, results in a $1,000 fine; and any further offense, if within 24 months of the first, results in the issuance of a notice to appear to show cause for why the establishment’s alcohol license should not be revoked.
Businesses that were cited:
- Pump N Go- 801 Harmon St.
- Jim’s Quick Stop- 922 Pennsylvania Ave
- Kroger #979-1900 E Victory Dr
