North Michigan Park neighbor Cheryl passed along the following from Councilmember Zachary Parker’s office regarding the 24/7 Tobacco & Convenience Store:

[The Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection] DLCP has visited 4944 South Dakota Ave on 8/15/2025. At the time, they didn’t engage in the sell of tobacco to the minor and were not cited for any other violations during this visit.

On that same day, DLCP received a complaint for this location. A visit was conducted on 8/21/2025 and the business was cited for selling flavored tobacco and not having a registered trade name. The NOI was served on 9/10/2025 and is pending a hearing at OAH. The respondent has submitted a plea of Deny to both violations.

On September 18, 2025, DLCP received another complaint.

The NOI was served on 10/16/2025 and is pending a hearing at OAH. The respondent has submitted a plea of Deny to both violations.

DLCP has not received any new complaints through our online system since September 2025.
