The facility operated under a boil water notice at the time of inspection, though hand sinks, mop sink, and toilets were functional. A June 2022 inspection found butane fuel canisters stored directly over pre-packaged gum and candies on retail shelving near the checkout line; the items were rearranged on site. A May 2023 focused inspection resulted in no violations.
