SNOW HILL – Officials handed down a fine and a suspension to a local store after clerks sold alcohol to minors twice within a month.
The camp store at Frontier Town was fined $1,500 and received a four-day suspension from the Worcester County Board of License Commissioners (BLC) this week. The suspension, which started Immediately after Wednesday’s hearing, means the store won’t be able to sell alcohol again until Sunday, July 30. Frontier Town representatives apologized to the board and said they’d implemented changes to ensure sales to minors didn’t occur in the future.
“This was an absolute lapse in judgement on leadership’s part,” said Todd Burbage, CEO of Blue Water Development, the company that manages the campground for Sun RV Resorts. “We have taken significant steps to make sure this never happens again.”
In a hearing Wednesday afternoon, Burbage was quick to apologize for the two sales to minors that occurred at Frontier Town’s camp store in June. He said that as CEO of Blue Water Development, he took the incidents very seriously, particularly since the company held 23 liquor licenses across the country. Burbage said he was hiring a TAM (Techniques of Alcohol Management) instructor to train employees and had also purchased a new point-of-sale system that will require identification to be scanned for alcohol purchases.
“I expect you to treat me harsher than anybody else because I’m a leader in this community,” Burbage said.
Frontier town used to be a really nice, family friendly place. Anymore, not so much.
