Compliance Check Results – 2nd Quarter (Lilburn-30047)

The Gwinnett County Police Department conducts regular compliance check sweeps of alcohol establishments to assure that employees are properly checking IDs and preventing sales to underage youth.  Alcohol retailers play an essential role in reducing teen access to alcohol.  Through proper training of their employees, the teens can’t buy alcohol from their stores, and they can serve as a source of information to reduce the possibility that alcohol legally sold to an adult does not end up in a teenager’s hands.

The compliance checks involve youth under the age of 21, ordering an alcoholic drink at an restaurant and/or attempting to buy alcohol at a licensed establishment.  In the past three months, January – March, nine establishments were checked in 30047.  The compliance rate during this time was 78%, which means that 2 out of 9 retailers sold alcohol to the underage decoy.

We thank the following alcohol establishments which did NOT sell alcohol to the decoy:

Exxon Food Mart, 930 Indian Trail Lilburn Rd, Lilburn

Shell Food Mart, 915 Indian Trail Lilburn Rd, Lilburn

Everyday Food Mart, 950 Indian Trail Lilburn Rd, Lilburn

Recreation ATL, 754 Beaver Ruin Rd, Lilburn

Lilburn Food Mart, 4090 Five Forks Trickum Rd, Lilburn

Shell Food Mart, 4088 Five Forks Trickum Rd, Lilburn

Shell Food Mart, 3020 Five Forks Trickum Rd, Lilburn

It is their commitment to training of their employees and their policies that prevented the underage sales of alcohol.  We salute YOU!
