Tyskie, on Kirkgate in Wakefield, was told it would no longer be able to sell alcohol at a hearing in November.
It followed the discovery of 8,000 foreign-labelled cigarettes stashed at the premises, the like of which were being sold to customers at cheap, tax-free prices.
Wakefield Council's decision to ban the store from selling alcohol will either be upheld or overturned, depending on the outcome of a court case to be heard within the next few months.
Speaking at a licensing committee meeting on Wednesday, council officer Dave Hollis said that Tyskie's appeal will be "considered at the Magistrates' Court".
