CONSENT ORDER
The South Carolina Department of Revenue (Department) initiated this matter by issuing a
finding that Piedmont Convenience, Inc. (Piedmont), located at 1706 Boiling Springs Road, Boiling
Springs, South Carolina, had violated 23 S.C. Code Ann. Regulation 7-200.4 (Supp. 2003), by
“permitting the purchase of beer by a person under the age of twenty-one.” Prior to a hearing, the
parties resolved the matter. That agreement is incorporated into this consent order as set forth below.
1.Piedmont admits that it violated Regulation 7-200.4, at its licensed location at the
above referenced address, on September 1, 2003. For this violation Piedmont agrees
to remit a check in the amount of $2500.00, payable to the Department as noted
below.
2.Piedmont further agrees to serve a suspension of its beer and wine permit at this
location for a period of ten days. Piedmont agrees to surrender its permit to the
Department on April 10, 2004, by federal express, to begin the service of such
suspension. The permit and a check in the amount of $2500.00 will be sent to the
follwing:
South Carolina Department of Revenue
Attn: Jody Plyler
Regulatory Division, 2nd Floor
301 Gervais Street
Columbia, S.C. 29214
3.Piedmont further agrees to serve this suspension beginning on April 10, 2004, serving
it continuously from day to day until the suspension is served in its entirety. Further,
Piedmont agrees that it will not lease, sublease, sell or otherwise transfer this location,
its personalty, realty, gas supplier contracts, etc., to a related or unrelated person and
or entity, until the completion of the service of the agreed upon ten day suspension.
4.Piedmont further agrees to contact John Kirkland of the South Carolina Law
Enforcement Division within ten days of the date of this Order, to schedule alcohol-server quarterly training for a period of one year, for the employees at location at
issue.
5.In consideration of the above and because of the policies and procedures that
Piedmont had in place at the location at the time of the violation the Department
accepts the above in satisfaction of Piedmont’s third violation (within a three year
period) at this location on September 1, 2003.
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. I also Order this matter Resolved With Prejudice.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
