Athens City Code

It is unlawful for any person to falsely represent a sale as being a going out of business sale. The term "going out of business sale," for the purposes of this section, means a fire sale, bankrupt sale, loss of lease sale, or any other sale made in anticipation of the termination of a business at its present location. When any person, after advertising a going out of business sale, adds to his stock or fails to go out of business within 90 days, he shall prima facie be deemed to have violated this section.
