The famed retailer was shut down March 10 by the New York State Liquor Authority for selling alcohol without a current license and it has not reopened since.
Federal agents descended on the store in the morning and an unmarked white van remained parked at the corner of Park and 59th St. into the evening as part of a multi-law enforcement agency investigation of the business and its owners, sources said.
A Post reporter who tried to enter the store was told it was closed by an officer wearing an FBI T-shirt. Another officer wore a T-shirt that identified him as a part of the “FBI-NYPD Gang Taskforce.” One FBI agent who was inside the store confirmed to The Post they had been there for hours but declined to say what they were looking for.
One former employee, who’d been in the store after it closed, told The Post that the agents were likely looking at the computer system and any records that were kept inside the store.Owners Shyda Gilmer, above, and Kris Green are allegedly being investigated for selling wine to customers and never delivering it.
Over July 4 weekend, the company’s website went dark and the company’s spokesperson, Eric Andrus, recently said he no longer represented Sherry-Lehmann.
