Southwest Columbia liquor store loses state license

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The state revoked a Columbia liquor store's license to sell alcohol this week after the owners failed to answer multiple allegations.

The Missouri Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control revoked Spring Creek Liquor and Convenience Store's license on Thursday after the owners did not appeal, a state spokesperson told ABC 17 News. An appeal could still arrive via traditional mail.

The store is owned by Liquor Vault LLC, according to the Missouri Secretary of State's Office business records. The company did not respond to messages from ABC 17 News seeking more information.

State regulators had leveled 12 charges against the store: several counts of false answers on applications, two counts of violation of oath, a count of failing to report a change of fact, two counts of not disclosing an illegal financial interest and lack of good moral character.

The store was closed Thursday and Friday during normal business hours.
