Summary

The Board approved an alcohol license for S.K. Riverside Inn Convenience Store and restaurant at 29 River Cove Rd.; applicant said health inspection passed, electrical upgrades completed, and a local employee will serve as the county agent.

The Meriwether County Board approved an application (PC26‑011) allowing the new owners of Riverside Store and BBQ, operating as S.K. Riverside Inn, Inc., to sell and serve alcoholic beverages at 29 River Cove Road.

Planning and Zoning staff presented the request; Karim Dodhia, speaking for the new owners, described completed improvements, a passed health inspection, electrical upgrades and permitting, and the addition of Hunt Brothers Pizza. Dodhia said the service area would be secured inside the restaurant so patrons could not leave the premises with alcoholic beverages and confirmed a local employee was listed as the required county agent. Vice Chairman Jennifer Snelson confirmed background checks were completed before the Board took the vote.

Chairman Emmett Collins moved to approve the request and the motion passed unanimously. The approval allows alcohol sales and service within the secured restaurant portion of the business; the Board did not record conditions beyond standard licensing requirements.
