Quik Mart (February)
1250 E. Fort Lowell Road
- History: Consistently “good” and “excellent” ratings since 2002, until it received a “needs improvement” on Feb. 18.
- What the inspector saw: The restaurant received a “fail” during a Feb. 29 follow-up to the “needs improvement” rating. Because a “dedicated hand sink” still hadn’t been installed and the facility was in the process of installing a floor drain for the three-compartment sink, the restaurant was cited, and given 10 days to get up to code.
- Follow-up: Passed March 10.
- Response: “We’ve been in business for 35 years and this is the first time these issues have been brought to the our attention at this store. On our previous inspection, we got an ‘excellent’ and there was no mention of problems with the sinks,” said president and owner
- Troy Little.
- “We always want to abide by the health department’s standards. We did what they asked, and spent $6,000 to put in a second hand sink and change the plumbing on the three-compartment sink.”
