Lincoln
retailers receive kudos
[SEPT.
25, 2002]
On Sept. 12 the Lincoln
Police Department conducted a series of alcohol compliance checks on
local alcohol retailers. Using an 18-year-old male, the Lincoln
Police Department had the male attempt to purchase alcohol from 13
retail stores. These compliance checks are performed to determine if
local retailers are complying with state and local minimum-age
alcohol sale laws.
|
The city is pleased to announce that by
education and training, local retailers refused to sell alcohol to
the minor during the compliance check, giving Lincoln a 100 percent
compliance rate.
The city and
the Lincoln Police Department thank these retailers for their
efforts in reducing the availability of the use of alcohol by
minors. Retailers were given a letter awarding them for their
employee training and overall concern about underage use of alcohol.
[Lincoln Police Department
news release] |
The results from that compliance check
are listed below:
• Apollo Mart — did not
sell
• Quick Way Foods — did
not sell
• Kickapoo Mini Mart — did
not sell
• Lincoln IGA — did not
sell
• Thornton’s — did not
sell
• Qik-N-EZ — did not sell
• Kroger — did not sell
• CVS — did not sell
• Clark Refining — did not
sell
• Ayerco — did not sell
• Eagle Market — did not
sell
• Fifth Street Food Mart —
