RCADC AWARDS SIX LOCAL BUSINESSES WITH RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS AWARD
Roane County, Tennessee – The Roane County Anti-Drug Coalition (RCADC) has recently awarded six local businesses with a Responsible Business Award. The following businesses passed their most recent tobacco and alcohol compliance checks: KayMart in Harriman, Premier Mart in Harriman, Lee’s Food Mart in Harriman, Dollar General off Hwy 70 in East Roane, Dollar General in Rockwood and the Food City Gas ‘N Go in Kingston.
Compliance checks, performed by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture, are performed randomly and are unannounced. The purpose of these checks is to ensure local businesses are properly checking IDs, not selling alcohol or tobacco products to minors, and following state laws and regulations. RCADC believes it is imperative that all our local retailers are diligent about supporting prevention efforts by not allowing minors to purchase alcohol or tobacco products.
RCADC grants the Responsible Business Award to community partners who have made a large impact on substance misuse prevention efforts. Previous winners include Kingston Police Department, CVS Pharmacy, Baggett Pharmacy, House of Tobacco & Beverage (Rockwood), Taylor Motor Company, Caney Creek Marina and Harriman Gardens.
