ORDERS:
CONSENT ORDER
The South Carolina Department of Revenue (Department) initiated this matter by
issuing a finding that The Pantry Inc., d/b/a The Pantry #3295 (Pantry), located at 862 Windslow
Ave., Gaffney, South Carolina, had violated 23 S.C. Code Ann. Regulation 7-9(B)(Supp. 2002), by
“permitting the purchase of beer by a person under the age of twenty-one.” Prior to a hearing on this
matter, the parties resolved the issues. That agreement is incorporated into this consent order as set
forth below.
1.The Pantry admits that it permitted a person under the age of twenty-one purchase
beer from its licensed location at the above location on October 30, 2002. For this
violation Pantry agrees to remit a fine in the amount of $3500.00 no later than July
25, 2003, to the Department. Pantry also agrees to serve a suspension of its beer and
wine permit at this location for a period of sixty days. Pantry will surrender its permit
to the Department to begin service of the suspension on August 1, 2003. The
suspension will run continuously from day to day until the sixty day suspension has
been served.
2.In consideration of the above and based on the circumstances of this case as well as
the alcohol sales and training procedures that Pantry had in place at this location at
the time of the violation, the Department accepts the terms herein in full satisfaction
of Pantry’s violation at issue here.
Further, the parties freely and voluntarily entered into this agreement. The parties
agree that this constitutes the full and final resolution of this violation and such is
resolved with prejudice.
I find this agreement to be fair and equitable, approve such agreement, and hereby
Order its adoption. This court retains continuing jurisdiction to enforce this Order. As Respondent
no longer requires a hearing on this matter, I also Order this matter Resolved With Prejudice.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
