Popeye's red card
"Do you know why Popeye's on Bloomington Road was closed?"
A routine inspection of the store was conducted on Oct. 25. A number of violations were observed, including a non-functioning hot water faucet at the store's drive-thru. A temporary hand washing station was established but the business was ordered to have the hand sink repaired within 24 hours.
By 2:30 p.m. the next day, "no correspondence from the district manager was received," the public health inspection report said. "The inspector conducted a follow up visit to the facility and spoke to the on duty manager again.
"She stated that the district manager told her to 'operate the kitchen like normal' and that he 'didn't care,' so staff continued normal operations despite the inspector's instructions. The inspector observed the drive thru drink station and the previously restricted food prep areas being utilized by staff for food service. Shortly after the inspector's arrival, the district manager arrived at the facility.
"Due to an imminent health hazard secondary to inadequate hand washing, the food service permit was suspended at 1451 hours on 10/26/21 and a red 'Closed' placard was posted at the facility, which shall remain posted until the facility has been re-inspected to verify compliance."
The restaurant was reopened two days later.
"A follow up visit was conducted and the inspector verified the hand sink had been replaced and functioned properly," the Oct. 28 inspection report said. "The hand sink provided adequate hot and cold water and was stocked with soap and paper towels. At approximately 1330 hours on 10/28/21, the permit was reinstated and all applicable reinstatement fees were paid."
