See which Cobb businesses sold booze to minors during a recent sting
Police recently ran a sting on several Cobb County businesses to see which would sell alcohol to a minor.
Cobb police sent an underage volunteer to 10 locations in Marietta and Smyrna on Thursday, according to a news release from the department.
Three of those 10 did sell alcohol to the minor: Quick Pick at 1242 Atlanta Road in Marietta, along with Royal Package and Three Star Food Mart both at 1860 Atlanta Road in Smyrna.
The following businesses passed the check and did not sell to the juvenile:
- Paces Bottle Shop, 3599 Atlanta Road
- El Sol Mexican Bar and Grill, 3599 Atlanta Road
- Chevron, 3601 Atlanta Road
- Kroger, 4715 Atlanta Road
- Bowlero, 2749 Delk Road
- Publix, 2900 Delk Road
- Willy's Mexicana Grill, 2900 Delk Road
The department ran these checks at Cumberland Mall businesses in September and in the Acworth and Mableton areas during late August last year.
