Ariana News in Reading is at risk of losing its licence to sell alcohol after a 25-year-old Afghan man was found working at the shop in October.
Reading Borough Council's Licensing team will hold a hearing on January 11 to decide if Ariana News can continue to sell booze.
Enforcement Officers visited the premises along with Thames Valley Police (TVP) on October 4 and the illegal worker was detained after he was seen serving customers.
The review of the licence has also been called due to a backlog of concerns over the sale of alcohol to street drinkers and other breaches of the licence conditions.
During the October inspection, further breaches were identified, including concerns over the CCTV system at the shop and no staff training records could be produced.
Ariana News had its licence reviewed and suspended in May 2009 after failing age related test purchases.
