“According to the law, all liquor licensees must purchase their beer, wine and spirits from licensed liquor distributors,” Giarrante said in a news release on the law violation penalty.
“Purchasing alcohol at stores such as Sam’s Club or Costco and then reselling it in an establishment is a direct violation of the law and will not be tolerated in Joliet.”
