Knox County Beer Board approves on‑premise beer permit for Agave de Oro LLC
Summary
The Knox County Beer Board unanimously approved an on‑premise beer permit for Agave de Oro LLC after swearing in owner Oscar Valencia Limon and a brief applicant Q&A covering training, ownership, and prior sales.
The Knox County Beer Board voted unanimously on Monday to approve an on‑premise beer permit for Agave de Oro LLC, a Mexican restaurant owned and operated by Oscar Valencia Limon.
Board members swore in the applicant before questioning him about the application and business operations. "My name is Oscar Valencia Limon. I'm with the business of Agave de Oro LLC, a Mexican restaurant. I'm resident in Knox County," Limon told the board when introduced. Director Morris asked a series of routine questions about licensing requirements; Limon confirmed the application information was current, that he and his staff have no convictions in the past 10 years, and that he would not sell beer to minors.
The applicant said beer had been sold at the location previously, that he leases rather than owns the premises, and that no other person holds an ownership interest. He also confirmed he had completed required server training and that the county had issued a certificate of occupancy and codes approval for the location.
Commissioner Jay moved to approve the application "as presented," and the motion received a second; the board then conducted a roll‑call voice vote. Each commissioner present voted "Aye," and the chair declared the motion passed, approving the beer permit.
After the vote the chair congratulated Limon and noted the Metro Drug Coalition as a local resource for information about beer permitting. The meeting adjourned shortly afterward.
The board's action was limited to approval of the on‑premise beer permit; no additional conditions or penalties were recorded in the minutes.
