ELMHURST, IL — An Elmhurst business failed a compliance check during recent testing by the Illinois Liquor Control Commission. The ILCC, in conjunction with the Cook County Sheriff, conducted 13 underage compliance checks for businesses in the area.

Other establishments that failed the check include:

• Cocina Y Cantina Los Dos Compadres, 2409 Mannheim Road, Franklin Park

• Chances R Bar, 10747 W. Grand Ave., Melrose Park
• Zacatecas Bar, 115-117 Grand Ave., Melrose Park

Several businesses did pass the compliance check by refusing to sell liquor to underage participants. Those businesses were:

• Windy City Liquors, 101 E. Grand Ave., Melrose Park
• J.J. Peppers Food 7 Liquor, 10400 W. Fullerton Ave., Melrose Park

According to the ILCC, this testing is a result of ongoing undercover and cooperative law enforcement operations conducted by agents of the Illinois Liquor Control Commission, local law enforcement officials and underage participants recruited from area high schools and colleges. The teams randomly visit liquor stores, restaurants and bars in communities around the state to check for ongoing compliance with state laws mandating that no liquor is sold to persons under 21 years old. ILCC agents also work with local and state law enforcement agents to focus on communities with a high incidence of underage liquor sales.
