3 Florida Restaurants Shut Down Due to Health Concerns
Three businesses in Florida were told to close earlier this June due to health concerns.
According to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, the violations ranged from rodent droppings to food being improperly stored.
China Master on 1700 W. International Speedway Blvd was reportedly operating with an expired license. On June 16, there were several live cockroaches as well as rodent droppings found at the restaurant. It only took one day for the establishment to meet inspection standards.
The second business that shut down was The Tremont on 7015 Red Bug Lake Road. There were dozens of “live, small flying insects” found on June 17. Similar to China Master, it only took one day for the establishment to sort out this issue.
College Park Diner on 2304 Edgewater Drive in Orlando was also told to shut down on June 17. That’s because 50 dead cockroaches and over a dozen live ones were found on the premises.
Instead of correcting these violations, College Park Diner has closed its doors for good. Their decision was first reported by Bungalower.
“Tuesday morning, we conducted a full wall flush treatment through our pest control provider as part of a proactive pest control plan we implemented due to a recent isolated issue. The treatment occurred prior to opening and, as expected with a building that’s over 70 years old, it stirred up activity behind the walls,” the owner of College Park Diner said. “We began cleaning immediately as part of our planned follow-up. During this process, the Department of Health inspector arrived to investigate a complaint, the problem we were working toward resolving. Due to visible pest activity caused by the flush and our active cleanup efforts, we were issued a closure order. While we were given the option to clean and reopen, we made the difficult decision to permanently close instead.”
There’s a note on the door at College Park Diner that reads “Out of Business! Toodles.”
China Master and The Tremont, meanwhile, have reopened their doors.
