Wendy’s, located at 1625 U.S. Highway 1 in Sebastian, is back open. This happened on Thursday, April 8, 2021, after it passed a health inspection. Earlier that week, the state health department had shut it down.
This shutdown came after someone made a complaint about the restaurant. When a health inspector visited Wendy’s, they found a few different problems that led to the shutdown.
One of the main issues was that there were roaches in many parts of the kitchen. This could have made the food unsafe.
Also, the kitchen was not clean. Grease covered the floor, which is not healthy and could make employees slip. There was also dust and grease on the ceiling tiles, making the place even dirtier.
The Sebastian restaurant also had problems with training. The food manager’s certificate had expired, and no other employees had received the proper food safety training.
Even after another check on Wednesday, the restaurant had to stay closed because it still had the same problems. A pest control person came in on Wednesday to deal with the roaches.
Finally, on Thursday, the restaurant was allowed to open again. The health inspector saw that Wendy’s had fixed the problems they pointed out earlier in the week. This means that the restaurant was now following the state’s health rules again.
