PALO ALTO, CA — A Palo Alto liquor store’s license was revoked indefinitely earlier this week by a state enforcement agency that alleges it repeatedly sold alcohol to minors.

The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) suspended Ernie’s Liquors’ license on Tuesday, the agency said in a statement.

The Palo Alto liquor store at 3870 El Camino Real was issued a revocation for six months to allow for an ABC-approved ownership transfer, the agency said.
