May 26, 2026 Special Meeting

The City of Shreveport held a special meeting on May 26, 2026, to address the request for suspension and subsequent revocation of the alcohol beverage permit for R&W Consumers grocery store located at 4101 Hollywood. The Shreveport Police Department presented evidence of repeated violations including illegal alcohol sales during suspension, drug paraphernalia, expired employee cards, and a shooting incident involving a store employee. Despite the store owner's defense and claims of corrective actions, the council voted unanimously 7-0 to uphold the police department's recommendation to revoke the liquor license and suspend the address for 12 months to ensure compliance and public safety. This decision reflects a significant enforcement action impacting the business's ability to operate under its current license.
