Officials in suburban Maywood say that seven convenience stores and markets have been temporarily closed due to “repeated, systemic” sales of tobacco to minors.
Those businesses were also accused of illegally selling THC products to minors, prompting the village to suspend their licenses pending a hearing later this month.
“Selling tobacco to minors is not a simple oversight. It is a violation of the law that inflicts long-term biological harm on the next generation,” Mayor Nathaniel George Booker said in a statement. “We are taking these steps to ensure our community remains safe for families.”
According to officials, the closures were the result of an undercover investigation that found “repeated, systemic sales of tobacco and nicotine products to minors.”
A statement accused the businesses of “exploiting youth for profit,” and criticized the businesses for endangering the health of children within the village.
A hearing will be held Tuesday, January 13 to discuss permanent revocation of the licenses for the establishments involved.
