In my opinion the business license will be revoked as the business will be found to be in violation of Georgia Code - Property - Title 44, Section 44-12-138 which says at (a)(1): . . . A pawnbroker shall not use the term 'loan' in any advertisements or in connection with any advertising of the business of the pawnbroker"
The business name itself (Cruchelow Jewelry and Loan) violates the Georgia Code as the stated 'purpose of the business' is listed as "Pawn Shop" in the application for a business license.
On April 3rd the business will not reopen.
It is not necessary to address the issue of a 'mistake' on the part of the City of Kennesaw in issuing the license nor it is necessary to consider any subsequent application for a variance.
The title of the business itself coupled with the stated purpose of the business in their 'Application for Occupational Tax Certificate', is enough to require the City Commission to revoke the business license.
