Seven Peachtree City businesses were cited by police for alcohol violations after an undercover sting last week.

She’s Bistro, Gezzo’s Surf and Grill, Grinds and Wines, Chili’s, Kane Yama and Peachtree Bottle Shop were cited for furnishing alcohol to a person under 21, police said. Gezzo’s was also charged with selling alcohol without a permit and allowing an employee to serve alcohol without a permit, police said.

The Rite-Aid at Ga. Highway 54 and Peachtree Parkway was also charged with selling alcohol without a permit and allowing an employee to serve alcohol without a permit, police said.

The other 34 businesses were found to be in compliance with city and state alcohol laws, police said.

The undercover sting featured an attempt by a minor to purchase an alcoholic beverage at 41 local bars, package stores, restaurants and pharmacies, police said. It was a joint effort between the Peachtree City Police Department and the Georgia Department of Revenue’s Alcohol and Tobacco Division.

Peachtree City requires all alcoholic beverage servers to file an application for a permit at the police department. The application process includes a criminal background check, and those with a minor alcohol offense must wait two years before they can be approved for a permit; more significant offenses require a five-year waiting period.

The waiting periods are timed from the date of conviction, not the date of the offense, according to city ordinance.
