The Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission has granted approval for Smithville’s second liquor store.
During a meeting last Tuesday, August 25, the TABC acted on James E. Bradshaw’s request for licensing of a retail store to be located at 725 South Congress Boulevard, Smithville called “Center Hill Wine & Spirits” near Food Lion.
According to the TABC, Bradshaw is investing $200,000 of personal funds into the business, as verified by TABC staff. Mr. Bradshaw is leasing the premises from Bayview Holdings, LLC for an initial term of four years. The TABC staff recommended conditional approval of this request for licensing, subject to receipt of a TABC inspection and acknowledgement of TABC rules and regulations.
The Smithville Board of Aldermen in July voted to issue Bradshaw a certificate of compliance, which signified that he met all the city’s ordinance requirements to make application to the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission, the agency which has the sole authority to grant a liquor license.
The city’s first liquor store, Smithville Discount Wine & Spirits at 413 East Broad Street, opened several weeks ago after also receiving a license by the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission.
