Athens City Code

A certificate for the sale of wine in a retail food store shall expire and become void if the applicant to whom the certificate was granted fails to apply for a license from the alcoholic beverage commission within six months of the date of the certificate or if the retail food store for which a certificate was granted is not in operation within 12 months following the issuance of the certificate; provided, however, a majority of the city council may, upon written request of the applicant, extend the expiration date of a certificate for up to three additional months in the event of circumstances beyond the applicant's control. If a certificate becomes void, no new certificate may be issued to the same applicant unless a new application is submitted and all applicable requirements of this chapter are met at the time the new application is received.
