NC ABC COMMISSION
SEARCHING FOR AN ANSWER

Here's a list of every Reidsville business that was busted on August 28th for selling alcohol to an underage customer:

  • Carmela’s

  • La Autentica

  • Lowe’s Foods

  • Lucky City Book & Wine Bar

  • Pizza Hut

  • Pizza Station

  • Reidsville ABC Store

  • Renea’s Convenience Store

  • Sagebrush Restaurant

  • Sibs Food & Garden Center

Here's a list of everyone who had an ABC Commission hearing to be sentenced to paying a fine or having their alcohol license suspended:

  • Carmela's

  • La Autentica

  •  

  • Lucky City

  •  

  • Pizza Station

  •  

  • Reneas BP

  •  

  • Sibs Food & Garden

You will notice there are a few businesses missing from the list of those who were prosecuted.  Exempted were Lowe's Foods, Pizza Hut, Reidsville ABC Store, and Sagebrush.  All six of the small, independently-owned businesses were held to the fire while the four chains got a free pass.

We've asked the ABC Commission in Raleigh to explain the difference.  So far they have not been able to come up with an answer.

Update:   According to Alcohol Law Enforcement in Raleigh, there is a bit of a turf war going on between ABC and ALE.  ABC reports it may or may not have authority over ABC stores, but ALE did not report the Reidsville ABC store's sale to an underage customer.  ALE says it did not report the Reidsville ABC store because it believed the ABC Commission has no authority over the Reidsville ABC store.  ALE says in the future it will report all ABC store violations and let ABC decide what to do about the violations.  ALE does not expect ABC will do anything with its violation reports.

Sound confusing?  Well, the story ain't over yet.  There's still the matter of Pizza Hut, Sagebrush, and Lowe's Foods.  Stay tuned for more developments.
