The Knoxville Beer Board on Nov. 28 referred Day Our Market (Deyar Markets Inc., 2734 Whittlesprings Road) to an administrative hearing after Officer Presley reported two underage-drive‑thru sales on Feb. 21 and Oct. 18, 2025.

Owner Badal Adar is represented by attorney Dylan Zinzer, who said a remedial plan was filed Nov. 17 and supplemented with additional measures the day of the meeting. Zinzer told the board the incidents stemmed from lack of training for new employees at the small convenience store and described steps the market has taken: a new employee completed a Responsible Tennessee Vendor training approved through state vendor lists; a digital app is already in use to check IDs while a point-of-sale ID scanner (recently purchased) awaits installation; and a $10,000 camera system with audio/video access has been installed so the owner can supervise remotely and communicate with staff.

Board members pressed for more specific drive‑thru procedures, noting window transactions pose unique challenges. The Chair said the board’s options were to take no action or send the matter to an administrative hearing; the Chair moved to send the case to a hearing officer and a colleague seconded. The motion passed by voice vote and was recorded in the transcript as "Ayes have it." Mr. Frost (law department) said if referred, the law department will draft and file a noncompliance complaint under chapter 4 and that the hearing officer will conduct a more formal, out‑of‑board proceeding.

Zinzer and Adar emphasized training and supervision changes, including making sure at least two people are on shift when possible, using the scanner app until the installed equipment is activated, and implementing remote-monitoring via the new camera system. Board members expressed hope the administrative hearing process would allow Day Our Market to refine and consolidate its remedial plan and demonstrate improvements.
