for the storage of alcoholic beverages in other than licensed premises,
except that no such permit shall be issued to any person licensed
pursuant to the provisions of section fifty-four or fifty-four-a of this
article, nor shall any such person licensed pursuant to the provisions
of section fifty-four or fifty-four-a of this article store or cause to
be stored any alcoholic beverages in other than its licensed premises.
