RENO –– The privileged liquor licenses of four Reno businesses have been suspended following a Tuesday administrative hearing.

The privileged liquor license of Jashan Market at 436 N. Virginia St. was suspended seven days beginning Wednesday at 8 a.m. and continuing until 8 a.m. on May 12.

The liquor licenses of Delight Food Market at 507 E. Fourth St. and Silver Smoke and Liquor at 141 N. Virginia St. were suspended for three days each, from 8 a.m. today through 8 a.m. Monday

A two-day suspension of the liquor license of the Nite N Day store at 2500 E. Fourth St. was ordered by the administrative hearing officer beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday until 8 a.m. Monday.

During the suspension period of privileged liquor licenses, sales of alcohol are suspended at the business, but the liquor license suspension does not impact other product sales at stores.

The undercover sting operations were conducted on March 13 as part of a Reno Police grant-funded operation.

Citations are issued to store employees for sales or furnishing of alcohol to a minor, resulting in review of the store’s privileged liquor license in an administrative hearing that involves the cooperative efforts of the Reno City Attorney’s Office, the Reno Finance Department and police.
