History: Since the early 2000s, the convenience store has largely received inspection ratings of good and excellent, but failed one previous inspection in June.
What the inspector saw: The inspector noted eight priority violations, including a blocked hand sink that didn’t have paper towels, no hand sink in the warewashing area, insufficient washing of food tongs, a refrigerator not keeping foods below established temperatures and improper date marking.
Follow-up: The Circle K failed a Dec. 27 follow-up and another had not occurred by press time.
Response: “Circle K takes immediate corrective action when receiving a failed inspection notice,” spokeswoman Donna Humphrey wrote in an email. “All items ... have been addressed with store employees and our facilities department. This store will be re-inspected January 10, 2018, and we expect to receive a ‘pass’ rating.”
