City Council reviews beer license applications for Dollar General and Thai Cafe

The Beer Board Meeting held on January 7, 2025, in White House, Coffee County, Tennessee, focused on several key applications and permits related to the sale of alcohol in the area. The meeting began with a public comment section, but no members of the public were present to speak.

The board opened a public hearing regarding the potential revocation of an off-premises beer permit issued to White House Market, located at 713 Highway 76. This was noted as their first offense. However, since there were no public comments, the hearing was closed without further discussion.

The board then moved on to new business, starting with the consideration of an off-premises beer license application for a Dollar General store at 2327 Highway 31 W. The board confirmed that this was a new application and not related to an existing installation. A motion was made and seconded to approve the application, which passed unanimously.

Next, the board considered an on-premises restaurant beer license application for the Thai Cafe at 132 Highway 76. Similar to the previous application, a motion to approve was made, seconded, and passed without opposition.

Finally, the board revisited the possible revocation of the off-premises beer permit for White House Market. A representative from the market was present, and the discussion included the possibility of showing a video related to the area, although details on this were not fully elaborated.

Overall, the meeting addressed significant applications for beer permits, with all motions for new licenses being approved, while the status of the White House Market's permit remains under consideration.
