Clean sweep on alcohol checks
“The Knox County Sheriff’s Office completed alcohol compliance checks on May 20,” Cain said. “The following establishments were checked, and all successfully passed the compliance inspection: Buffalo Wild Wings; Staybridge LILI1, LLC: Casey’s no. 4049; Top Golf USA; Wild Wings Café; Hampton Inn & Suites; Little Bangkok; Red Robin; Campbell Station Shell; Marathon; Mellow Mushroom; Fairfield Inn & Suites; and Walgreens no. 505053.
“All 13 of them passed with flying colors,” Cain said. “I’m really proud. I think that stems from the way staff and BOMA work with our businesses right from the beginning …
“I want to commend the staff and businesses here in Town,” he added.
“Most of the time, when we have these stings, as they call them, they send an under-aged person in,” Mayor Ron Williams said. “In the past, when they do this, it’s usually right before graduation or that time of the year, and we have had, in the past, from time to time, violations.
“But, this is the first year I can remember that we’ve had no violations, and we had a pretty good mix of businesses,” he added. “That’s great news. We hope they will continue on with that.”
Each business received a letter from Town Recorder Hailey Russell, which stated: “We appreciate your staff’s diligence and commitment to following alcohol sales laws and regulations.”
